Among the changes are the return of Republic Day on October 25, the cancellation of the day off on First President's Day on December 1, and the reduction of Independence Day celebrations to one day, December 16.

In 2024, December 16 falls on a Monday, so residents of the country will be able to enjoy a long weekend.

Schedule of days off:

December 14, Saturday: a working day for those who work a six-day week, and a day off for those who have a five-day week;
December 15, Sunday: a regular day off;
December 16, Monday: Independence Day (a day off for everyone)

At the beginning of the new year, Kazakhstanis with a five-day week will rest from January 1 to January 4, thanks to the transfer of the working day from January 3 to Sunday, January 5. For more information, follow the link.
