Days listed but not counted in the 13 above

These days appear on many calendars as public holidays, and sources genuinely disagree about them. Where they conflict, we follow the official government or statutory source and name it below, so a day is only counted in the totals on this page if the law actually gives it to you. That is why our figure can be lower than the one you see elsewhere.

Day of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic (Deň Ústavy Slovenskej republiky)Not a day off
What the law says: A state holiday under § 1, but § 2(3) excludes it from the days of rest — and has since 2024.
In practice: Employers may require work on this day without the usual day-of-rest restrictions. It is still widely described as a public holiday because it remains a state holiday.
Source followed: Act 241/1993 Z. z. § 2(3) (slov-lex)
Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day (Deň boja za slobodu a demokraciu)Not a day off
What the law says: A state holiday, but permanently removed from the days of rest with effect from 1 November 2025.
In practice: Unlike 8 May and 15 September, this change is not time-limited — it does not come back in 2027. Many sources have not caught up.
Source followed: Act 241/1993 Z. z. as amended by Act 261/2025 Z. z. (slov-lex)
