Greece has no statutory substitute days, except that the Minister of Labour moves Labour Day (1 May) to another working day when it falls on a Sunday, in Holy Week or on Easter Monday; the moved date is set each year and is provisional until announced. Only nine days are mandatory holidays for every employer. Clean Monday, Good Friday and Holy Spirit Monday close public offices and many businesses, but they are listed and not counted. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are half days in many workplaces; they count as full working days here.
