In Uzbekistan, employees working a five-day week will have three consecutive days off in observance of May 9 — Remembrance and Appreciation Day.
According to the presidential decree on establishing additional non-working days and shifting rest days during the celebration of official dates in 2026, since May 9 falls on a Saturday this year, this day off is scheduled to be moved to Monday, May 11.
In this regard, the following dates will be rest days:
- May 9, Saturday — regular day off;
- May 10, Sunday — traditional day off;
- May 11, Monday — transferred day off in connection with Remembrance and Appreciation Day.
This means that employees on a five-day work week will have three continuous days of rest, while those on a six-day work week will have two consecutive days off.
The Labor Code also stipulates that if a day off coincides with a non-working holiday, the rest day is transferred to the working day following the holiday.
