Why the date is what it is

Set weekday of the month. The rule names a weekday rather than a date, for example the third Monday in January, so the calendar date changes every year while the weekday stays the same.

That is why Labour Day does not land on the same day everywhere in 2027. Countries applying the rule against a different calendar, a different observation, or a different official announcement arrive at neighbouring dates. Where the difference is one day it is almost always a sighting or an announcement rather than a mistake, and each country page names the authority that fixed it.

In one country the calendar date falls on a weekend and the day off is granted on another day. That is one holiday with a shifted day off, not two holidays, so it is counted once here, on the day actually taken. The methodology page sets out the rule in full.
