Labor Minister explained that the decision follows Prime
Minister Dr. Moustafa Madbouly’s directive to grant an official paid holiday on
this occasion. The holiday applies to workers in ministries, government
departments, public bodies, local administration units, public sector
companies, and the public business sector.
Gobran added that the Ministry of Labor issued Circular No.
20 of 2025 today to all labor directorates across the governorates. The
circular instructs granting private sector employees governed by the Labor Law
an official paid holiday. The move aims to unify holiday dates across all state
sectors and achieve social and national objectives.
He stressed the need for heads of central departments at the
ministry’s headquarters and directors of labor directorates in the governorates
to implement the circular. They must apply its provisions in workplaces and
production sites, each within their jurisdiction.
