公眾假期由《公眾假期條例》規管，銀行、學校、公共機構辦事處及政府部門適用。法定假日由《僱傭條例》規管，適用於僱員。兩份名單日期並不完全相同。例如 2026 年清明節、佛誕、重陽節本身是星期日：法定假日仍記在節日當日；公眾假期則把補假放在翌日，並因清明節翌日碰上復活節星期一而再有增補假期。
2026 年起法定假日新增復活節星期一，由 15 日逐步增至 2030 年的 17 日。完整日期表見本頁列表，來源分別為香港政府一站通及勞工處。
憲報刊登是香港假期的法定生效機制：公眾假期名單每年由民政及青年事務局在《香港政府憲報》刊登，日期一旦刊憲，銀行、法團、政府部門便可據此釐定辦公時間。《僱傭條例》的法定假日則由立法會修訂或通過附屬法例逐步調整，勞工處每年公布名單，並附有補假安排指引，避免週日節日出現「被蒸發」的情況。
除了節日假期，《僱傭條例》另有「休息日」同「有薪年假」兩類法定保障：休息日每 7 天至少 1 天，有薪天數則按入職年資由 7 天逐步增至最高 14 天，由勞工處執法。勞工處每年公布違例檢控數字，但按行業分佈的休息日不足率、年假未放比率等細化數據，目前未在本站獨立點算，屬可結構化的官方勞工數據類別。
仍未收錄的官方硬數據（全部有明確年度）：① 勞工處按行業分類的休息日不足率、有薪年假未放比率、法定假日補違例檢控數 ② 民政及青年事務局歷年公眾假期刊憲日期與補假安排歷史檔案 ③ 勞工處僱傭條例執法檢控按罪名分類的統計 ④ 政府統計處按行業、年齡、性別劃分的有薪年假平均天數。刻意留白：私營企業自願假期、未經勞工處確認的行業放假慣例一律唔引用。

General holidays are made under the General Holidays Ordinance and apply to banks, schools, public offices and government departments. Statutory holidays are made under the Employment Ordinance and apply to employees. The dates are not identical. In 2026, Ching Ming, the Birthday of the Buddha and Chung Yeung fall on Sunday: the statutory holiday remains the festival day, while the general-holiday list moves the substitute to the following day, with a further substitute because the day after Ching Ming is Easter Monday.
From 2026, Easter Monday is a statutory holiday. The statutory list will rise stepwise from 15 days to 17 days by 2030. The dated lists on this page come from GovHK and the Labour Department.
Gazettal is the legal mechanism that brings Hong Kong holidays into force. Each year the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau publishes the general-holiday list in the *Hong Kong Government Gazette*; once gazetted, banks, corporations and government departments use it to set opening hours. The Employment Ordinance statutory-holiday list is adjusted through Legislative Council amendments or subsidiary legislation, and the Labour Department issues the annual list together with substitute-day guidance so that festivals falling on Sunday are not simply lost.
Beyond public festivals, the Employment Ordinance offers two further statutory guarantees: rest days (at least 1 in every 7 days) and paid annual leave, which rises from 7 days to a maximum of 14 days with seniority and is enforced by the Labour Department. The Labour Department releases annual prosecution figures for breaches, but detailed breakdowns—such as rest-day shortfall rates by industry or the share of employees who do not take their full annual leave—are not yet independently tallied on this site, although they are official, structured labour data.
Official hard figures not yet recorded (all carry an explicit year): (1) Labour Department rest-day shortfall rates, unused-paid-leave ratios and statutory-holiday enforcement prosecutions, all broken down by industry; (2) Home and Youth Affairs Bureau historical gazette files of every general-holiday list and substitute-day arrangement; (3) Labour Department Employment Ordinance enforcement prosecutions by offence category; (4) Census and Statistics Department average paid-annual-leave days by industry, age and sex. Deliberately left blank: private-enterprise voluntary leave policies and unverified industry holiday customs are deliberately not cited.
