What is fixed and what may change
All dates follow from article 139 of the Romanian Labour Code. Easter and Pentecost follow the Orthodox calendar: 2 May and 20 June in 2027.
Romania does not move holidays that fall on a Saturday or Sunday: there is no day off in lieu.
Each year the government usually grants extra "bridge" days off to the public sector, to be worked back later. These do not apply to private companies. No decision for 2027 yet.
Employees of other legal religious denominations get two days off for each of their three main annual religious holidays.
