The Directorate General of Public Service and Administrative Reform announced that Sunday, July 5, 2026, will be considered a paid public holiday across Algeria on the occasion of Independence Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement, the directorate explained that this national holiday concerns all employees working in public institutions, administrations, public bodies, public offices, and private bodies. It also applies to all employees of public and private companies operating in every sector, regardless of their legal status or the nature of their activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement further clarified that the measure includes workers paid on a daily or hourly basis. This means that the holiday is not limited to permanent employees only, but also covers different categories of workers, in accordance with the regulations governing paid public holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement comes as Algeria marks Independence Day, one of the country\u2019s most important national occasions. The date carries a strong historical and symbolic meaning, as it commemorates the recovery of national sovereignty and honors the sacrifices made by the Algerian people during the struggle for independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Directorate General of Public Service and Administrative Reform also called on the concerned institutions, administrations, bodies, offices, and companies to take the necessary measures to ensure the continuity of essential services. This is particularly important for departments and services that operate under a rotation or shift system, where work must continue even during public holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the statement, institutions required to maintain service continuity must organize their teams in a way that guarantees the smooth functioning of activities that cannot be interrupted. This includes services whose missions are linked to public needs, permanent operations, or essential administrative and technical duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through this announcement, the directorate reminded employers and administrations of the legal and organizational framework related to national paid holidays. It also underlined the importance of balancing workers\u2019 right to benefit from the holiday with the need to preserve the continuity of public service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sunday, July 5, 2026, will therefore be observed as a paid public holiday, while the relevant services are expected to maintain the necessary arrangements to ensure uninterrupted operations where required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
