Will Ukrainians have days off for Christmas and New Year in 2025 if martial law is in effect in the country? How will this affect the work schedule and can employers provide additional days off?

In December, according to the КЗпП, there is one public holiday on December 25th – Christmas. During martial law, this day will be a regular working day. However, employers of commercial enterprises can independently decide to make this day a non-working day. To do this, a corresponding order is issued.
