Thursday, July 24, Declared Paid Holiday for Private Sector Employees
H-Tayea 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. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
