Your public holidays are automatically added to the Remote People platform calendar based on your country and region of employment. These holidays are visible when you submit leave requests, helping you plan time off accurately and avoid conflicts with official non-working days.
Your public holidays are based on the country and region listed in your employment contract.
It's normal for your holiday calendar to differ from your company's calendar.
If your work address (usually your home address for remote roles) is in a region with its own calendar, those regional holidays apply to you.
Where to View Holidays
Public holidays are pre-loaded into your platform calendar.
You can view them when submitting a leave request or checking your time-off balance.
These holidays are based on your official work location, as stated in your employment contract.
Why Local Holidays Apply to You
Your employment is governed by the labor laws of the country and region where you are officially employed, not where your client company is located.
This means:
You observe the public holidays of your country and region of employment, even if your company follows a different calendar.
Your contract is aligned with local regulations, which include holidays set by national and regional authorities.
National vs. Regional Holidays
Public holidays can vary not only between countries but also within the same country.
Example:
If Remote People's employing entity is registered in Madrid, but you live and work remotely from Valencia, you will follow Valencia's public holiday calendar, not Madrid's.
Why?
Most Remote People contracts list your home address as your official work location.
Public holidays are determined by the region where you perform your work, not by the client's location or Remote People's legal entity.
