In Latvia, holiday entitlement is generally set forth in provisions contained in an employment contract or union bargaining agreement.

Most public holidays in Latvia are observed on the designated day. If Restoration Day or Proclamation Day falls on a weekend, the following Monday is observed as a paid holiday.

Workers are also entitled to take Whitsunday as a paid holiday.
