The Public Service Holiday in Brazil, known as "Dia do Servidor Público," is celebrated annually on October 28th.
This date was established by President Getúlio Vargas through decree-law No. 1,713 on February 28, 1939. The day was chosen to honor civil servants and recognize the importance of their contributions to the administration of the country.
On Public Service Holiday, various government offices and public institutions are closed as a mark of respect for the work done by public employees. Although it is not a national holiday for all sectors, it is a day off for federal, state, and some municipal public servants.
Public Sector: Government workers may enjoy a day off from their duties. Some departments may hold special events or ceremonies to acknowledge the hard work of civil servants.
Private Sector: Businesses generally remain open as usual, although they might operate with reduced efficiency if any interactions with public offices are required.
Educational Institutions: Schools and universities that are part of the public education system might be closed or have reduced activities.
Cultural Celebrations: In some localities, cultural events or awards may be organized to honor distinguished public service employees.
Since it is an opportunity for a break from work for many civil servants, individuals often use this time to relax with family or engage in leisure activities. Some might also use the long weekend (if adjacent to other holidays or weekends) to travel or participate in community events. Non-public workers generally observe this day as any other working day unless they need services from public institutions that are unavailable due to closures.
