Estonia Working Day

Checks a date against the Saturday-Sunday weekend baseline and exact 2026-2026 authority events. Requires explicit mon_fri_planning; national-importance dates and three-hour shortening never add full-day rest.

When to use

You need a deterministic Estonia Estonia 2026 statutory rest and conditional shortening facts with explicit Monday-Friday planning baseline result.

Do not use when: Estonia 2026 statutory rest facts over an explicitly selected Monday-Friday planning baseline. Sixteen national-importance dates do not add rest. Four dates carry a conditional three-hour shortening rule but still count as one planning working date, not a half-day or full-day holiday. No substitute or bridge is invented. Individual shifts, actual working hours, opening hours, employer/local/sector/school/bank schedules, replacement weekly rest, payroll, legal deadlines and future years are not computed.

Example user requests

Estonia: Independence Day is statutory rest.
Estonia: Shortened working date is not full-day rest.
Estonia: National importance does not imply rest.

Formula

planning_workday = weekday AND no statutory_full_day_rest_event; shortened working dates count once

Apply 12 statutory rest dates; retain 16 non-rest observances and four conditional shortened dates separately. No personal hours or payroll inference.

Example

Independence Day is statutory rest: {"date":"2026-02-24","work_schedule":"mon_fri_planning"} → {"is_working_day":false,"is_statutory_non_working_day":true}

Shortened working date is not full-day rest: {"date":"2026-02-23","work_schedule":"mon_fri_planning"} → {"is_working_day":true,"is_shortened_workday":true,"statutory_shortening_hours":3}

National importance does not imply rest: {"date":"2026-11-16","work_schedule":"mon_fri_planning"} → {"is_working_day":true,"is_day_of_national_importance":true}

FAQ

Are all named dates days off?

No. PTS sections 1-2 supply 12 statutory rest dates; section 3 supplies 16 separate national-importance dates without extra rest.

Does shortening make a half-day holiday?

No. The three-hour rule applies immediately before four named holidays when scheduled to work; a date counts once here, without an assumed eight-hour day or employee-hours/payroll calculation.

Are Easter Monday and Whit Monday holidays?

Neither is in PTS sections 1-2. April 6 and May 25 remain working dates in the selected 2026 Monday-Friday planning model.

Is this my attendance roster?

No. Required mon_fri_planning is an explicit planning model; shifts, actual opening hours, payroll and legal deadlines need other evidence.
