3 options for holidays on Hung Kings' Commemoration Day, Victory Day April 30, International Labor Day May 1

The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs also presented three plans for the holidays of Hung Kings' Commemoration Day, Victory Day April 30, and International Labor Day May 1.

Option 1: Just swap one work day with one day off every week.

On the occasion of Victory Day April 30 and International Labor Day May 1, civil servants and public employees will work on Saturday, April 25, 2015 and have Wednesday, April 29, 2015 off.

This holiday is close to the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day (April 28, 2015). Therefore, after the swap, on this holiday, civil servants and public employees will have consecutive days off from April 28, 2015 to May 3, 2015, for a total of 6 consecutive days.

Option 2: Civil servants and public employees go to work on Saturday, April 25, 2015, to have Monday (April 27, 2015) off. Then, civil servants and public employees go to work on Saturday, May 9, 2015, to have Wednesday, April 9, 2015 off.

After the swap, civil servants and public employees will have 8 consecutive days off from April 26 to May 3, 2015.

Option 3: Do not swap the weekly rest day for this holiday. The rest day will be interrupted twice in a row, each time by one working day.

The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs believes that option 1 is more harmonious and suitable because it solves the problem of having a working day between holidays. At the same time, the number of consecutive holidays is not too long, so it is recommended to take this holiday according to option 1.
