How to make your leave go further

Public-holiday planning

Use the planner to place annual leave immediately before or after public holidays and weekends; then confirm the exact holiday calendar and entitlement with your employer before booking.

Legal basis and comparison method

The general regime gives 14 consecutive calendar days up to five years of seniority, 21 days above five to ten years, 28 days above ten to twenty years, and 35 days above twenty years.

Normalization: Calendar-day bands are normalized using 5/7 for the ranking.

Equivalent by service length

1st year / first full entitlement	10 days
2 years	10 days
5 years	10 days
10 years	15 days
20+ years	25 days

Simplified comparison points. Actual legal thresholds may use anniversaries, cumulative service, education credits or other rules.

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.
