The Government of the Azores granted point tolerance to public function workers on October 6th. This measure applies due to the festivity known as "Terça-feira das Lajes", celebrated on Terceira island.
The point tolerance allows workers of the Azorean Regional public administration to be exempted from service on that day, due to the local festivity traditionally associated with this date.
The measure specifically covers workers assigned to the Regional Government of the Azores, and it is not clear in the article whether it extends to other public entities on Terceira island.
This is a habitual practice of the Regional executive, which recognizes the traditions and local festivities of each island in the Azores archipelago, granting these benefits to Regional public function workers.
