How to make your leave go further
Public-holiday planning
- National Day in early December can create useful combinations.
- Islamic holidays can move and may be confirmed officially closer to the date, so re-check before booking travel.
- Private-sector annual-leave rules differ from some public-sector arrangements.
Legal basis and comparison method
Private-sector employees are entitled to 30 days of fully paid annual leave after one year of service; shorter service above six months accrues at two days per month.
Normalization: For cross-country ranking, a 30-day leave period is normalized as 30 ร 5/7 โ 21.4 five-day workdays.
Regional and calendar caveats
The planner combines weekends with supported public-holiday data and can use first-level regional calendars where the dataset provides them. Employer-specific, municipal and sector-specific days can still differ.
This is a planning aid, not employment-law advice. Entitlement can depend on tenure, work pattern, sector, contract, collective agreement and regional law.
