A Fresh Spin on Work and Leisure in Belarus
Weekend approaches? Expect labor ministry reminder
Got some time off coming up? You're in luck! The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection has revealed that we've got another long weekend ahead of us. But this isn't any ordinary weekend - it's a triple whammy!
In May, we'll celebrate not one, but two national holidays: Labor Day on May 1st and Victory Day on May 9th. That means an extended break, so mark your calendars for a three-day weekend from May 9th to 11th!
May's not all play and no work, though. With a six-day workweek, Belarusians can expect 25 working days. If you prefer a more leisurely five-day workweek, you'll have 20 working days on your plate. Just remember to save one day for pre-holiday preparations!
Now, let's talk banking matters. But hold on, there's no hard-and-fast rule on banking hours during long weekends. Typically, working hours for banking products and services can differ from the standard business hours, depending on the institution and its specific branch. Commonly, banks operate from around 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. - or thereabouts.
If you're wondering about the banking hours specifically for May 2023, it's best to reach out to your local banks or check their official websites for that information. The National Bank of Belarus might have some announcements that could help you out too.
And there you have it, folks. Get ready to kick back, relax, and enjoy the clouds while they last. Work hard, play harder, and remember: Life's too short for boredom!

Belarusians will take a three-day weekend from May 9th to 11th, including Labor Day on May 1st and Victory Day on May 9th, with a six-day workweek of 25 working days, or a five-day workweek of 20 working days for those who prefer. While taking a break, outdoor-living and home-and-garden activities can be incorporated into the lifestyle during the extended break, but it's essential to check the banking hours for May 2023, as they might differ from the standard business hours, with the National Bank of Belarus having potentially relevant announcements.
