How many days off will Kazakhstanis have in the fall of 2025
September
In 2025, those working on a standard schedule (5/2) will be able to enjoy a three-day weekend in honor of Constitution Day. The holiday, celebrated on August 30, falls on a Saturday, which means, according to the Law "On Holidays," the day off will be moved to Monday, September 1.
The days off will be as follows:
August 30, August 31, and September 1 – days off.
For those on a six-day workweek, Constitution Day in 2025 will also bring extra rest. Since the holiday falls on Saturday, August 30, it will be a day off. Thus, they will have two consecutive days off – August 30 and 31 – and will return to work on Monday, September 1.
Five-day workweek in September
For those working five days a week, September 2025 will have 9 days off: regular Saturdays and Sundays (8 days) plus the moved day off – Monday, September 1 (moved from August 30).
Six-day workweek in September
For those working six days a week, days off in September 2025 will be Sundays only:
September 7 (Sunday);
September 14 (Sunday);
September 21 (Sunday);
September 28 (Sunday);
Total: 4 days off in September.
October
Five-day workweek
October 25 (Saturday) is a public holiday in Kazakhstan (Republic Day). Since the holiday falls on a weekend, according to the law, the day off will be moved to Monday. For those working a five-day week, this will mean a three-day weekend – October 25, 26, and 27.
In October 2025, employees on a five-day schedule will have nine days off: all regular Saturdays and Sundays of the month, plus Monday, October 27, which is the transferred holiday from Republic Day.
Six-day workweek
For those on a six-day schedule, October 25 (Saturday) will be a public holiday, October 26 (Sunday) will be a regular day off, and October 27 (Monday) will remain a working day. This gives them two consecutive days off – October 25 and 26.
In total, those with a six-day workweek will have five days off in October: all Sundays and the public holiday on Saturday, October 25.
