The Emergency Decree that establishes that every Saturday, Sunday and holidays are considered working days in state entities (for administrative procedures) will come into effect
on October 24th.
The measure aims to reduce paperwork time and to prevent administrative delays in various state agencies, including regional and municipal governments.
Public agencies must establish shifts for their staff to serve the public, regardless of their employment or contractual arrangements, 7 days a week, during all year.
However, all public servants will keep their weekly rest.
Indeed, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers announced that from now they will serve public on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, to carry out all administrative formalities.
The only exceptions to this rule on January 1st, May 1st, July 28th and 29th and December 25th
