“It is better that the people know the periods of time when they will rest beforehand,” Prime Minister Vlad Filat said after the Government declared May 10 and August 26 as nonworking days, but May 18 and August 17 will be workdays instead, Info-Prim Neo reports. Consequently, the budget-funded employees will have a five-day vacation in May. It will start on May 9, when the heroes killed in World War II are commemorated, and will end on Low Sunday. The salary earners will return to work on Tuesday, May 14. On the last month of summer, the vacation will last for four days, from August 24 until August 27 inclusive, when it is celebrated the Independence Day. When discussing the relevant draft decision, Vlad Filat suggested declaring December 25, when it is observed Christmas according to the new calendar, as nonworking day too. The employees can work for this day on another day.
