Easter Monday in Liechtenstein

Christian meaning and Liechtenstein’s calendar

Easter is the Christian festival commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter Monday follows Easter Sunday, so its date moves each year with Easter; Liechtenstein’s official holiday overview includes it among the country’s public holidays.[3][6]

The Liechtenstein-specific feature is its legal status: the Labour Act names Easter Monday among the statutory holidays treated as Sundays. The government’s holiday calendar also lists the day as a public holiday for the state administration.[1][4]

Work and day-off rules

For workers covered by the Labour Act, employment on Easter Monday is generally prohibited under the Sunday-work rules. The Office of Economic Affairs may authorize exceptions under the conditions in the law; an employer cannot require an employee to do Sunday work without that employee’s agreement. Temporary Sunday work carries a 100 percent wage supplement under the Act.[1]

Check the applicable employment terms for individual pay and leave arrangements.[1]

Shops and public services

Shop work is generally meant to stop on Sundays and public holidays. A shop needs authorization from the Office of Economic Affairs to open, with exceptions including pharmacies dispensing medicines, hospitality businesses, passenger transport operators and service stations. That means some services may be available, but opening hours vary by business.[2]

The Liechtenstein administration lists Easter Monday as a holiday and service-free day. Travelers should check the opening hours of the particular government office or service they need.[4]

Getting around

LIEmobil provides route planning, timetables and operating notices online. Its holiday information identifies dates when special timetables apply, so check the current journey planner for Easter Monday before travelling rather than assuming weekday service.[5]
