Our company is moving the Feb 28 holiday (Peace Memorial Day) to Jan 22. Is this common? ---

Is this common? Not in any of the companies I’ve worked in Taiwan. I’d think that’s not even allowed, unless it was decided together with the workers representative, but I may be wrong. ---

Seven of the months in 2020 have no holiday. 2019 had five of the months with no holiday. Looks like five long weekends. ---

What’s with the random Saturdays that aren’t days off? ---

This is usually to have continuous holidays. e.g. holiday is on Thursday then they exchange the Friday workday with Saturday in a different week, so you have off from Thursday to Sunday. ---

We work to «compensate» for extra days off that fall between two holidays. Welcome to Taiwan. I have plenty of days off. Definitely taking those Saturdays. As a matter of fact, I can see myself having long weekends -4 days each- once a month if well planned. If a sacrifice has to be made, let’s go all the way. ---

Proper day is 25th. 24th is the big night. Most places around my house will start closing the 22nd. Interesting. ---

I presume food-based stuff like supermarkets and night markets and restaurants stay open for CNY? Malls, etc? ---

Yep. Costco closes one day because they are nice, but most supermarkets just give employees a couple extra hours to go home for the big dinner. ---

More confusion… :ponder: ### Can someone confirm for which day 2/15 (Saturday) was the make up day? Our company claims we need to work this Friday too to make up for another day. according to company schedule… 2/15 make up for 1/23 2/28 make up for 1/22 ---

Ooh, your company sounds evil. The 2/15 Saturday make up was indeed for 1/23, as per the government. Working on Peace Memorial Day (2/28), when it should be a long weekend, is a mean move by your company… if they gave you the extra day off for CNY (1/22), they should have been clear about making you work on a national holiday later on. I’d be pissed. ---
