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

Employees who work 48 weeks in a year are entitled to four weeks of paid annual leave: 20 working days on a five-day week or 24 on a six-day week.

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.
