Photos have nothing to do with the article. [사진 출처 = 연합 뉴스]As the new year approaches, each person quickly turns through the calendar and checks the first thing. It is the ‘Golden Holiday’, which is a long period of holidays or public holidays.
In particular, it seems that office workers will need to make a quick decision to occupy the golden holiday of 2022 in the Year of the Black Tiger. This is because the longest holiday of the year awaits at the end of this month.
According to the summary of the 2022 calendar published by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning on the 1st, the number of alternative holidays has increased from this year, unlike last year. It has been extended from 7 days including Lunar New Year holidays, Chuseok holidays and Children’s Day to 11 days by adding 4 national holidays such as Samiljeol, Liberation Day, National Foundation Day, and Hangeul Day.
The longest holiday this year that office workers have been waiting for is the five-day Lunar New Year holiday, from Saturday, February 29 to Wednesday, February 2. In addition, if you use the annual leave for two days from February 3 (Thursday) to 4 (Friday), the day following the holiday, you can enjoy a 9-day golden holiday.
This year, Chuseok, the longest rest period following Lunar New Year’s Day, will be 4 days, including alternative holidays. In addition, on Memorial Day (June 6), Liberation Day (August 15), National Foundation Day (October 3), and Hangeul Day (October 9), you can spend three days on weekends including weekends.
This year’s public holidays, the so-called ‘Red Day’, are among 71 days, including 52 Sundays and national holidays and New Year’s Day, ▲ Buddha’s Birthday (May 8) ▲ Last day of Chuseok (September 11) ▲ Hangeul Day (10) 9th) ▲Christ’s Birthday (December 25th) overlaps with Sunday, making it the same 67th as this year.
This includes public holidays due to the presidential election on March 9 and the simultaneous nationwide local elections on June 1. However, with the addition of the Chuseok alternative holiday (September 12) and Hangeul Day (October 10), the total number of holidays for organizations that implement a five-day week system will be 118, two more days than this year. New Year’s Day (1st), New Year’s Day, Buddha’s Birthday, and Christmas are weekends, but they are not subject to substitution holidays and do not have separate holidays.
