The General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM) has recommended that private companies grant their employees a paid day off on Friday, May 29, 2026, to mark the celebration of Eid al-Adha. Eid al-Adha is observed this year on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, according to official announcements.
The recommendation, issued by CGEM, aims to allow workers to fully participate in the religious festivities. The confederation emphasized that this is a voluntary measure for private sector employers, not a legal obligation.
This move aligns with similar practices in previous years, where CGEM has encouraged businesses to support work-life balance during major religious holidays. The public sector typically observes a fixed holiday schedule.
