Holidays on a weekend
In Melilla, 1 May (Labour Day) and 25 December (Christmas Day) fall on a Saturday. If you work Monday to Friday, you lose those holidays unless your employer gives you the days back. In several collective disputes in 2026, Spain's National High Court (Audiencia Nacional) recognised the right to a day off in lieu in this situation. The rulings can still be appealed and the Supreme Court has yet to settle the issue. We cover this in whether you get a day back when a holiday falls on a Saturday.
Assumption Day (15 August) falls on a Sunday and Monday 16 is not a holiday, because a different holiday is taken instead.
Bridge days
Monday 11 October and Tuesday 7 December are working days sandwiched between two days off (bridge days, or puentes). If your company decides to give staff those days off, put them in the work calendar from the start.
Local holidays
Melilla is a single municipality and also has up to 2 local holidays. They are not in the BOE (Spain's Official State Gazette) but in the city's own official gazette. Add them to the calendar of each workplace.
Working days and hours in 2027
Start from the 251 working days in Melilla in 2027, then take off the 2 local holidays, if they fall on weekdays, and about 22 days of annual leave (the 30 calendar days in Article 38 of Spain's Workers' Statute usually work out at 22 working days). That leaves 227 working days.
On a full-time 40-hour week of five 8-hour days, that comes to 1,816 hours a year. Compare this with the annual hours set in your collective agreement (convenio colectivo). If your total is higher, you will need to give extra days off or shorten the working day to make up the difference.
