Bulgarians to Enjoy 4 Non-working Days on Holidays in 2011
Bulgarians will be granted four non-working days for the national holidays in 2011, the government decided Wednesday.
Four non-working days will be granted for March 3 (National Liberation Day), May 24 (National Day of Culture and Slavic Script), September 22 (Independence Day). Three will be the non-working days for September 6 (Unification Day).
The government's decision for the change aimed at avoiding splitting the work week and providing possibility for more effective use of the non-working days during the holidays.
Official non-working days are March 4 (Friday), May 23 (Monday), September 5 (Monday) and September 23 (Friday).
The new work days will be four Saturdays – March 19, May 28m September 3, September 17.
