Less than two weeks later, there will be another long weekend, from April 30 to May 3, to celebrate the Reunification Day (April 30) and then the Labor Day (May 1).
The labor ministry said companies and offices that normally open on Saturday should follow its holiday schedule strictly and let their employees make up for the lost hours later.
