Thursday, July 24, Declared Paid Holiday for Private Sector Employees
On Saturday, the Ministry of Labor has officially declared Thursday, July 24, 2025, a fully paid public holiday for all employees in the private sector, in observance of the anniversary of the July 23 Revolution. The decision was issued in Circular No. 15 of 2025, following Labor Law No. 12 of 2003.
Although the national holiday traditionally falls on Wednesday, July 23, this year's observance has been shifted to Thursday in line with a Cabinet directive aimed at unifying public holidays across various sectors. This shift is part of a broader government policy to align holidays in a way that supports social and national objectives and ensures consistency across public and private institutions.
The Ministry clarified that this holiday applies to all workers governed by the Labor Law and ensures full paid leave. Employers who require employees to work on that day due to business needs are legally obliged to provide double pay in addition to the regular wage, as stipulated by Article 52 of the law.
The directive was issued following Cabinet Decree No. 2474 of 2025, which designated Thursday, July 24, as the official replacement for the July 23 public holiday. This move aims to provide a longer weekend for workers and improve alignment of holiday observance across Egypt's workforce.
