The upcoming holiday on September 15, the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, is designated as a non-working holiday in Slovakia. While it is not a day of rest, labor laws dictate that employees working on this day are entitled to their regular wage plus a holiday premium of at least 100% of their average earnings, or they may agree to compensatory time off.

In the banking sector, Slovenská sporiteľňa has announced it will close all physical branches and corporate centers for the day to provide employees with paid leave. Digital services, including mobile applications, internet banking, and the ATM network, will remain fully operational.
