Fathers Day Holiday is celebrated in Samoa.

New labour laws allow all businesses to remain open on public holidays if they desire. This is due to the increase in tourism on the islands. Businesses are now required to offer their employees a day off in lieu of the holiday if the employee must work on that date. It is up to the employer through their work contract if the employees receive premium pay for working on those dates or if the days are paid non-working holidays.
