March 22 (Saturday) — day off only for employees with a 5-day work week;
March 23 (Sunday) — general day off.
Those who work 6 days will only rest on March 21 and 23, continuing their work on Saturday, March 22.

Additionally, on March 8 — International Women's Day, employees who work a 5-day week will also have a 3-day holiday on March 8, 9, and 10, while those who work 6 days will return to work on March 10.
