Türkiye recognises public holidays under Law 2429 of 1981 on National Holidays and General Holidays. The civic list includes National Sovereignty and Children's Day on 23 April commemorating the 1920 opening of the Grand National Assembly, Labour and Solidarity Day on 1 May, Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day on 19 May, Democracy and National Unity Day on 15 July marking the 2016 coup attempt, Victory Day on 30 August commemorating the 1922 Dumlupınar victory, and Republic Day on 29 October, the highest-ranked national holiday. The religious holidays Ramazan Bayramı (three and a half days) and Kurban Bayramı (four and a half days) are added by Diyanet calendar each year.
Labour Law 4857 of 2003 article 63 sets the standard week at 45 hours, historically distributed Monday to Friday plus Saturday morning but now mostly Monday to Friday in offices and banks. Sunday is the statutory weekly rest day under article 46. The Code of Civil Procedure (Hukuk Muhakemeleri Kanunu) article 93 rolls procedural deadlines falling on a public holiday to the next working day; Saturdays are treated as working days for procedural purposes. Settlement of Turkish lira transactions runs on the Central Bank of Türkiye's EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) and the Interbank Card Center's clearing, which observe the statutory holiday list.
