About Jour de l'an

National holiday across France.

This page is the 2024-specific edition: it shows the actual weekday, the observed date if a weekend rule applies, and the placement of the holiday inside the France fiscal year that contains it. For the canonical, year-agnostic overview see the main Jour de l'an page.

2024 weekday and observance

In 2024, Jour de l'an falls on Monday, January 1. Falling on a Monday, this holiday compresses the work week to four days and pushes any month-end activity that would normally close on Monday into the following day. Plan for late-Tuesday banking value dates.

No weekend-shift rule applies in 2024 because the holiday falls on a regular weekday. Both the calendar date and the observed date are Monday, January 1, 2024. Treat it as a non-working day in payroll, vendor payment scheduling, and any business-day calculation that drives accruals or settlement.

Where it lands in FY2024

For organisations on the France fiscal calendar, Jour de l'an 2024 sits in fiscal month 1 (FM1), inside quarter Q1 of FY2024. From this date, you have approximately 365 days remaining until fiscal year-end on December 31, 2024. That distance matters because year-end close planning typically begins 60 to 90 days out — meaning if FYE is within that window, this holiday already sits inside the close-planning runway and any client-facing or vendor-facing deadlines that touch it should be pre-cleared rather than rescheduled later.

Operational impact for finance teams

For finance and operations teams, Jour de l'an 2024 reduces the working-day count for FM1 by one. If the holiday falls within two business days of a fiscal month-end, expect downstream impact on accrual timing (revenue cutoff, inventory counts, AP cutoffs) and on banking value dates. Wire transfers and ACH/Faster Payments typically settle the next business day; international wires may slip two days when both origin and destination observe the holiday. See our guide on mapping holidays to fiscal months for a worked example of folding observance dates into the close calendar.

If your business operates payroll on a biweekly cadence aligned to the OPM federal schedule, check the 2024 pay period schedule for the pay period containing this date — the payday for that period may shift to the preceding business day.
