Hong Kong has 17 general holidays in 2026, in addition to every Sunday. The dates below are from the list gazetted by the Hong Kong Government.

Where a festival falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is designated as the general holiday instead. In 2026 this affects three dates:

Ching Ming Festival falls on a Sunday, so Monday 6 April is the holiday.

Birthday of the Buddha falls on a Sunday, so Monday 25 May is the holiday.

Chung Yeung Festival falls on a Sunday, so Monday 19 October is the holiday.

- Ching Ming Festival falls on a Sunday, so Monday 6 April is the holiday.
- Birthday of the Buddha falls on a Sunday, so Monday 25 May is the holiday.
- Chung Yeung Festival falls on a Sunday, so Monday 19 October is the holiday.

Hong Kong distinguishes between general holidays (the 17 listed above, sometimes called bank holidays) and statutory holidays under the Employment Ordinance. The two lists have been converging, and Easter Monday becomes a statutory holiday for the first time in 2026.

Remote People employees in Hong Kong follow the general holiday calendar above.

Lunar New Year runs 17–19 February 2026. Expect limited availability across that period and in the days either side.

Public holidays are not deducted from your annual leave balance. If a holiday falls inside a period of approved leave, it is not counted against your balance.

This prototype demo is aware that you are reading “{title}”. It can point you back to the current article, but a production article-aware Fin contract is still follow-up work.

Prototype article-aware answer

Because you already asked about invitations, this prototype demo can add the follow-up: use the role selector before sending each invite to limit access to the teammate responsibilities.

Prototype role-limiting follow-up

This prototype demo suggests starting with your workspace profile, inviting the team members who need access, and then connecting the integrations you use.

Prototype getting-started answer

In this prototype demo, integrations are configured from workspace settings. Choose the integration, connect the account, and review the enabled permissions.

Prototype integrations answer

In this prototype demo, invite teammates from workspace settings, then choose the access each teammate needs before sending the invitation.

Prototype invite-team answer

This prototype demo does not have a scripted answer for that question yet. Try asking how to invite your team or open a source article. No production Fin API was called.
