# 2021 Anzac Day: With regard to the National Workplace Relations System (SA's private sector workforce), the Fair Work Ombudsman has determined that public holiday entitlements apply to both Sunday 25 April and Monday 26 April. SA private sector employers should take note of industrial relations laws governing work on public holidays.

* Since 2006 the Adelaide Cup public holiday has been changed each year by Proclamation (by the SA Government) from the third Monday in May to the second Monday in March to coincide with the change in date of the horse race.

^ 2021 Christmas Day: The Holidays Act in South Australia declares that when Christmas Day falls on a Saturday the following Monday will be a public holiday instead of that day. This means that in 2021 Christmas Day is not designated as a public holiday for industrial purposes whilst noting that other laws (e.g. shop trading and gaming machines) still restrict certain activities on Christmas Day. Many industrial awards and agreements include specific provisions for Christmas Day. To check your award or agreement: Private sector see the Fair Work Ombudsman website; Public and Local Government sectors see the SAET website.

† 2021 Boxing Day / Proclamation Day: With regard to the National Workplace Relations System (SA's private sector workforce), the Fair Work Ombudsman has determined that public holiday entitlements apply to both Sunday 26 December and Tuesday 28 December. SA private sector employers should take note of industrial relations laws governing work on public holidays.

⁺ 2022 New Year's Day: The Holidays Act in South Australia declares that when 1 January falls on a Saturday the following Monday will be a public holiday instead of that day. This means that in 2022 New Year's Day is not designated as a public holiday. Some industrial awards and agreements may include specific provisions for New Year's Day. To check your award or agreement: Private sector see the Fair Work Ombudsman website; Public and Local Government sectors see the SAET website.

Bank holidays

• All public holidays are also a bank holiday and all authorised deposit-taking institutions will be closed on bank holidays.

Saturdays

• When 1 January, 26 January, 25 December & 26 December fall on a Saturday the public holiday moves to the following Monday therefore the Saturday is not a public holiday but is still a bank holiday.

Sundays

• The Holidays Act 1910 (SA) prescribes every Sunday to be a public holiday.
• For industrial purposes, the Sunday provisions contained in an Award or Enterprise Agreement will generally prevail over the public holiday provisions unless stated otherwise.
• When New Year’s Day, Australia Day, Anzac Day and Christmas Day fall on a Sunday, that day and the following Monday will be public holidays and bank holidays.
• When 26 December (Proclamation Day public holiday) falls on a Sunday or a Monday, that day and the following Tuesday will be public holidays and bank holidays.
• Enquiries relating to public holiday rates of pay and entitlements for the National Workplace Relations System (SA's private sector workforce) should be directed to the Fair Work Ombudsman.

Part-day public holidays

• A person who works between the hours of 7pm and 12 midnight on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve is entitled to the public holiday rates provided by the relevant Award or Enterprise Agreement. This is still the case when those days fall on a Saturday or a Sunday.
• As with other public holidays for workers covered by the national workplace relations system, the Public Holidays National Employment Standard applies during the times of a part-day public holiday.
• Individuals should check their award/agreement for further details on part-day public holidays.

Impact on shop trading hours

• The definition of public holiday under the Shop Trading Hours Act 1977 (SA) does not include a Sunday.
• There are however certain trading restrictions applicable to Easter Sunday and when 25 December, 26 December and 1 January fall on a Saturday or Sunday in any year. Refer to Holiday trading arrangements for more details.
• The Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve part-day public holidays do not affect prescribed trading hours relevant to the day they fall in a given year.

Extended shop trading hours over public holidays

The Government may announce exemptions to shop trading hours in the lead up to Christmas and over the Christmas/New Year period. An important condition of the exemptions is that all employees working during these extended hours will do so on a strictly voluntary basis (that is, the worker must choose to do so).

Any worker who feels they are being made to work during hours to which exemptions apply can contact SafeWork SA on 1300 365 255 for assistance and advice.

Enquiries relating to rates of pay and entitlements for working on public holidays should be directed to the Fair Work Ombudsman.

Every year, Italy celebrates 12 official public holidays. These days of rest and celebration range from national days to religious holidays which are widely observed by a majority of the public. 

During public holidays in Italy, institutions like schools and post offices will be closed. Most private businesses also close on these official national holidays but this is at their own discretion and recent years have seen more and more stay open. Major monuments like the Colosseum close on some major public holidays, but tend to stay open more often than not, with the exception of Christmas day and New Year’s Day.

Wondering if you’ll be in Italy during a national holiday? Here is a complete list of the public holidays in the country.

National Holidays in Italy

1 January: New Year’s Day. Most stores remain closed, but some will reopen later in the day. 

6 January: The Epiphany. La Epifania, also known as La Befana, is a holiday that has its roots in the Catholic Church but is still recognized as a public holiday to this day. This is also officially the last day of Christmas in Italy and many decorations will come down this week. This is widely celebrated as a holiday for children, so you may see performers dressed up like La Befana or come across local festivals.

Easter Sunday: The celebrations for Easter begin earlier in the week and include a major event at the Colosseum on Good Friday known as the Via Crucis. However, the official public holiday is not until Easter Sunday, with Easter Monday also a national holiday in all of Italy. Easter is a moveable feast that occurs in spring but the dates change each year. In 2020, Easter Sunday falls on April 12th. 

Easter Monday: Pasquetta. Sometimes known as “little Easter” the Monday after Easter is also a public holiday in Italy. This is typically a day spent eating and enjoying the beginning of spring with friends. Some schools close for the entire week leading up to Easter, with Pasquetta set as the last day off before classes recommence. Easter Monday always immediately follows Easter Sunday. In 2020, Easter Monday is on April 13th.

25 April: Liberation Day. Festa della Liberazione is celebrated to mark the end of the Italian Civil War and the end of the Nazi occupation of Italy. It remembers those who lost their lives in the resistance movements and may include marches and rallies.

1 May: Primo Maggio. The first of May is labor day in Italy and in many other countries around the world. This national holiday is the unofficial kickoff to spring and summer weather, with many people planning picnics in the countryside or attending festivals like the major concert in Piazza San Giovanni in Rome.

2 June: Festa della Repubblica. This is the Italian National day or Republic Day. The holiday marks the day in 1946 when Italians were called to the polls and voted to end the monarchy and transition to a Republic following World War II. It is marked with a major military parade in Rome. Though it is officially a major national holiday, many private businesses remain open on June 2nd. 

15 August: Ferragosto. Ferragosto is Italy’s major summer holiday. The public holiday lasts just one day, but you will find that many businesses close for several weeks around August 15th, giving employees a chance to enjoy their own vacations. The day celebrates the Virgin Mary’s accession to heaven, though its origins pre-date the Catholic Church and are tied to an ancient Roman mid-summer festival. It is also known as the Feast of the Assumption.

1 November: All Saint’s Day. Halloween is slowly catching on in Italy (at least among the younger generations), however, the public holiday is the next day on November 1st. All Saint’s Day (Ognissanti) was established by Pope Gregory II in the 7th century. It is a day when churchgoers celebrate all Catholic saints, and many Italians travel home to be with family and to remember lost loved ones on 2 November (All Soul’s Day).

8 December: The Feast of the Immaculate Conception. L’Immocolata is another Italian public holiday with deep links to the church. It celebrates the assumption of Mary, but these days it is a festive day that acts as the start of the Christmas season. This is when public and private decorations are usually illuminated and many towns and neighborhoods host street fairs. 

25 December: Christmas Day. Christmas is a major holiday in Italy that tends to be family-centric. Virtually all businesses close and transportation will run on a very limited schedule. Some restaurants remain open for lunch, but it is highly recommended you secure reservations in advance. Here are some Italian Christmas traditions if you would like to join in. 

26 December: St. Stephen’s Day. The day after Christmas is also a national holiday in Italy. Many families use it as a day to visit friends, and while some stores and restaurants reopen, this should not be counted on.

Note: The above is a full list of all of the public holidays in Italy. While these are the official national holidays, travelers should keep in mind that different cities and regions may have additional holidays that are recognized locally. Many of these are linked to local patron saints and their arrival means similar business and school closures in the areas where they are celebrated.
