About Austria Public Holidays
Austria observes 13 national public holidays per year, governed by the Feiertagsruhegesetz (Public Holiday Rest Act). These holidays apply uniformly across all nine federal states (Bundesländer) — unlike some countries where individual regions may set their own additional holidays. Austrian law mandates that employees who are required to work on a public holiday receive a full day's wages in addition to their regular daily rate, effectively entitling them to double pay. Employees who do not work on a public holiday retain their full regular pay with no deduction. This strong statutory protection makes Austrian public holidays among the most employee-friendly in the European Union.
Four of Austria's 13 public holidays are moveable feasts tied to Easter Sunday. In 2027, Easter Sunday falls on March 28, placing Easter Monday on March 29, Ascension Day on May 6, Whit Monday on May 17, and Corpus Christi on May 27. The remaining nine holidays fall on fixed calendar dates every year.
