New Year's Day, Easter, Labor Day, Independence Day, All Saints' Day and Christmas Day are widely recognized (and celebrated) holidays. The other holidays listed are officially recognized by the government's Department of Labor (Direction Départementale du Travail) and are granted to government workers; the government requires that businesses operating in the country also recognize them, though employees, if even familiar with them, tend to prefer working as usual (with government-mandated overtime wages) on those days.
