Wherever there is a personal or collective agreement or practice that benefits the employee more than the law, it must be acted upon and not according to the law The festival of Sigd (Ge'ez: ሰግድ - "worship"), also called the festival of praise (ምህልላ - "supplication") and amata su (ዐመተ ሰወ - "day of the gathering"), is one of the festivals and festivals of Beta Israel. The holiday falls on the 29th of the month of Tashwan (the 29th of Heshvan), 50 days after Yom Kippur, and is a day of fasting, purification and renewal. In a year in which the 29th of Heshvan falls on Shabbat, the festival of Sigd will be brought forward to Thursday (i.e., the 27th of Heshvan). The Sigd is a pilgrimage festival centered on the ceremony of renewing the covenant between the people and God. In Israel, the custom of celebrating the holiday on the Armon Hanatziv promenade, which overlooks the Temple Mount, was accepted in the presence of members of the community and public figures.

An employee is entitled to be absent on election days even if he does not observe the dates according to his religion. The days of choice can also be used for personal events such as weddings, bar mitzvahs, brit mila, etc. If an employee is not given the opportunity to use his right to receive a day of choice in a particular year, due to the requirements of the service, he will be entitled to receive an additional day of choice in the following year (other than the two days of choice to which he is entitled in a year).
