About the Montserrat holiday list

The official list gives an observed day for 1 of them, shown in the Notes column. The 2025 list is further down the page, each with its own calendar download.

Each date is shown with its day of the week, because for rotas and pay the weekday matters more than the date, and the next holiday is highlighted.

For what a holiday means on the payslip read the public holiday pay guide, and use the Montserrat pay calculator to see the deductions on that pay.

How it works

  1. Read the 2026 table: date, weekday, holiday name and any observed day the official list gives. Past dates are greyed out and the next holiday is highlighted.
  2. Click Add to calendar on a year to download an .ics file with every date as an all-day event, then open it in Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar.
  3. Planning pay? Note which holidays fall on days your staff normally work; those are the ones that attract holiday pay or a premium. The free tools below do the arithmetic.

That is set by the labour law and your contract, not by the holiday list. A common set-up is a paid day off, with a premium or a day in lieu when you work the holiday. Our public holiday pay guide explains the usual arrangements with worked examples; confirm the rule for your workplace with the labour department or payroll.
