April 11 Public Holiday to Remain Fixed and Paid in 2025
The commemoration of Juan Santamaría guarantees a mandatory paid holiday for workers in 2025.
April 11 marks the commemoration of the Heroic Deed of Juan Santamaría, a significant event in the national calendar.
This date is included in Article 148 of the Labor Code, designating it as a mandatory paid holiday.
As per this regulation, workers are entitled to receive their salary irrespective of their work status on this day.
In 2025, April 11 falls on a Friday, which means the holiday will not be shifted to another date.
This situation allows many individuals to enjoy an extended break, especially for those who do not work on weekends.
The significance of this alignment is amplified considering that Holy Week in 2025 will commence on Sunday, April 13, and last until Sunday, April 20. During this period, the official holidays are Holy Thursday on April 17 and Good Friday on April 18. Consequently, with the inclusion of April 11, there will be three paid holidays in that month.
Workers who can coordinate their vacations with their employers may enjoy a continuous break of up to ten days, from April 11 through April 20. This arrangement provides a unique opportunity for relaxation for a substantial portion of the workforce.
The April 11 holiday will remain unchanged in 2025, assuring many workers a much-needed respite ahead of the more solemn period within the national liturgical calendar.
