The Rest column counts weekends and moved rest days together. Hours: 40-hour week, pre-holiday days 7 hours. The Holidays column counts unique dates: 20–21 March is both Novruz and Ramadan, 28 May is both Eid al-Adha and Independence Day; that is why the law lists more holidays (19) than the calendar has dates (17).

Rules and source
Public holidays are set by article 105 of the Labour Code; the dates of Novruz, Ramadan and Eid al-Adha are confirmed each year by the Cabinet of Ministers. National Mourning Day (20 January) is not a working day. When a holiday or mourning day falls on a rest day, the next working day becomes a rest day; when two holidays coincide an extra rest day is also given. The working day before a holiday is one hour shorter (art. 96). These rules are for a 5-day week; a 6-day week has a different number of rest days.
