Mato Grosso and other Brazilian regions reschedule holidays

Overview

Authorities in Mato Grosso have rescheduled the optional holiday for Public Servant Day from October 28 to October 30. This administrative adjustment is intended to create a four-day consecutive break for state executive employees, spanning from Friday through the national holiday of All Souls' Day on Monday, November 2.

In the state government, Decree “E” nº 69 establishes that administrative offices will maintain regular operations on the original date of October 28. At the municipal level, the Mayor of Alta Floresta signed Decree nº 338/2026 to implement the same shift, citing a desire to prevent discontinuous work weeks and improve administrative efficiency. In both instances, essential services such as health and public security are excluded from the rescheduling and must maintain continuous operation.

This trend of administrative rescheduling extends to other regions in Brazil. In Mato Grosso do Sul and the municipality of Videira, administrations have also shifted the Public Servant Day holiday to Friday, October 30, to facilitate a long weekend through the November 2 national holiday. These adjustments are part of a broader movement across various Brazilian municipalities to align calendars and avoid fragmented work weeks.
