The Honduran Council of Private Enterprise (COHEP) has issued guidance regarding the 2026 holiday schedule and labor regulations for the private sector.

Initially, COHEP clarified that the September 15 national holiday is unmovable under the Labor Code. The organization also detailed the ‘Semana Morazánica’ schedule for October, noting that the unified holiday period for the private sector will run from Wednesday, October 7, at 12:00 PM until Saturday, October 10, at 12:00 PM. During this time, the banking and financial system will be closed to the public.

Following the independence anniversary, COHEP President Anabel Gallardo called for national unity and the rebuilding of trust to address various challenges. She urged citizens to commit to the nation’s future by transcending political, economic, and social divisions. COHEP reiterated that while the holiday schedules are set, companies operating under collective bargaining agreements must continue to respect the specific terms established in those contracts.
