Long weekends in Senegal, 2026
5 runs of three days or more, including the ones you only get by taking a single bridge day off. Computed on a Monday–Friday week. The corpus holds Sunday as this jurisdiction’s statutory weekly rest — corroborated — but a labour code names the day it guarantees, not the days custom adds, so it is cited above rather than computed from.
| When | Length | Because of | Leave |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Jan – 4 Jan | 4 days | New Year's Day | take Fri 2 Jan |
| 20 Mar – 22 Mar | 3 days | Eid al-Fitr | no leave needed |
| 3 Apr – 5 Apr | 3 days | Good Friday, Independence Day | no leave needed |
| 1 May – 3 May | 3 days | Labor Day | no leave needed |
| 25 Dec – 27 Dec | 3 days | Christmas Day | no leave needed |
