Johor follows a Sunday to Thursday working week, which makes its holiday schedule slightly different from most other Malaysian states. Because the weekly rest day falls on Friday and Saturday, replacement holidays may not always follow the same pattern seen elsewhere in the country. If a public holiday overlaps with a rest day, any replacement leave will follow the official Johor state holiday guidelines for that year.

These public holidays generally apply to government offices, schools, and most workplaces across Johor, although actual working arrangements can still vary by industry. Sectors such as retail, hospitality, healthcare, and other essential services may continue operating based on employer policies.

Since holiday dates and replacement rules may occasionally be adjusted through official state announcements, it’s always wise to check the latest confirmed schedule before planning travel, school programmes, appointments, or staff leave in Johor.
