2027 Work Calendar in Spain: Public Holidays and How to Plan It

What the work calendar is

The work calendar lists the year's public holidays and must be displayed at the workplace. It includes a maximum of 14 holidays a year: national, regional and two local ones.

Holiday structure

Of the 14 holidays, some are non-substitutable national ones (such as 1 January, 1 May, 12 October, 6 and 8 December and 25 December), others are set by each autonomous region, and two are determined by the town councils. It is advisable to publish the calendar before the year begins.

Planning holidays and long weekends in advance avoids conflicts in shifts, holidays and workload peaks.

How to plan 2027

• Confirm the national holidays published in the official gazette (BOE).
• Add your region's regional ones and your municipality's local ones.
• Identify the long weekends to plan cover ahead.
• Coordinate the calendar with holidays and rosters.

Holidays and the time record

Holidays worked must be reflected in the time record and compensated (pay or rest) per the collective agreement. Having the calendar integrated into the clock-in system avoids calculation errors.
