How to read the numbers
- 1 Working days = the Monday-to-Friday days of the month minus the national holidays that fall on them (or Monday to Saturday, if Saturday counts).
- 2 Working hours = working days × hours in a day. With 8 hours, 20 days are 160 hours.
- 3 National holidays are those on the legal list, including 4 October from 2026. The patron saint day is local and is not included.
Frequently asked questions
How many working days are there in a year?
It depends on the year and the calendar: with a Monday-to-Friday week and national holidays taken off, both 2026 and 2027 have 254 working days, that is 2,032 hours at 8 hours a day.
Does monthly pay change with the number of working days?
Normally not: monthly pay is fixed. The month's days and hours are for planning, estimating labour cost and checking against the timesheet.
Is Saturday a working day?
It depends on the contract: tick the box if your company works six days a week.
