How the working week works in Ireland
Irish workplaces follow a Monday-to-Friday week, typically 39 paid hours. When a public holiday falls on a weekend, employees do not lose it. The Organisation of Working Time Act lets the employer choose between a paid day off within a month, an extra day of annual leave, or the next working day off.
