How to make your leave go further

Public-holiday planning

  • Carnival is culturally important but treatment as a day off can depend on local law and employer practice.
  • Tiradentes Day, Independence Day and Republic Proclamation Day can create bridges when they fall near weekends.
  • State and municipal holidays matter, so regional calendars can improve the planner.

Legal basis and comparison method

After a 12-month acquisition period, the general headline entitlement is 30 calendar days of vacation, subject to statutory rules including attendance.

Normalization: 30 calendar days × 5/7 = ≈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.
