** Angola has twelve public holidays that can be increased by bridge holidays if a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday. When a National public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, the Company is to suspend its work activities on Monday (if the public holiday falls on a Tuesday) and on Friday (if the holiday falls on a Thursday). Employees are required by Law, to work 1.5 additional hours daily the week prior to this holiday. Bridges are granted by the government.
