Dominican Republic Constitution Day holiday moved to November 9

In the Dominican Republic, the holiday commemorating Constitution Day will be observed on Monday, November 9, 2026, rather than on Friday, November 6. According to the official holiday calendar published by the Ministry of Labor, Friday, November 6, will be a working day.

This adjustment follows Law 139-97, which mandates the transfer of certain holidays to a Monday when they fall on other days of the week. This change allows employees who do not work weekends to enjoy a three-day break from Saturday, November 7, through Monday, November 9.

Under the Labor Code, employees required to work on the Monday holiday are entitled to receive double their regular daily salary. Those who do not work during the holiday will receive their standard pay without the 100% increase.
