Kenya Working Day

Checks a date against the Saturday-Sunday weekend baseline and exact 2026-2026 authority events.

When to use

You need a deterministic Kenya Kenya 2026 nationwide public-holiday layer over a Saturday-Sunday working-week baseline result.

Do not use when: This package covers the nationwide public-holiday layer only. It is not a universal private-employer, bank, school, county, sector, diplomatic or shift-work calendar. The Saturday-Sunday baseline is a calculation convention for ordinary weekday work, not a claim that every employer uses the same roster. Idd-ul-Fitr and Idd-ul-Adha are pinned to the 2026 Gazette declarations; future lunar dates and later special notices require a refreshed package. The Act's Sunday substitution rule is preserved and no Saturday-to-Monday substitution is inferred.

Example user requests

Kenya: Idd-ul-Fitr public holiday.
Kenya: Ordinary Kenya working day.

Formula

is_working_day = not an official Saturday/Sunday weekend date and no exact authority event

Apply the pinned authority event table over the declared weekday baseline; do not infer uncovered employer or regional schedules.

FAQ

Does this include a Monday substitute for Saturday holidays?

No. The Public Holidays Act expressly addresses a holiday falling on Sunday; it does not establish a blanket Saturday-to-Monday rule. The package includes only dates supported by the Act or a specific 2026 Gazette notice.

Does this answer every Kenyan employer or county?

No. It is the nationwide public-holiday layer over a stated weekday baseline. Private employers, counties, banks, schools, diplomatic missions and shift rosters may have different schedules.

Are the Eid dates forecasts?

Not for the pinned year: 20 March and 27 May 2026 are represented as dates declared or reported from Kenya Gazette notices. Future lunar dates are not extrapolated.
