  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.

What happens when a public holiday falls on a Sunday or Saturday in Turks & Caicos Islands?

The official source states: Public Holidays Ordinance s.2(1): 'if any of those holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday the following Monday shall be a public holiday.'

Do I get paid extra for working on a public holiday in Turks & Caicos Islands?

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.
