Finland has no statutory substitute days: a public holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday is not moved to a weekday, so the following Monday stays a working day in these counts. Midsummer Eve and Christmas Eve are not public holidays by law, but most collective agreements give them off; they are listed but not counted, so a workplace that closes on them has up to two working days fewer in a year.
