How to make your leave go further

Public-holiday planning

  • Easter Monday, May Day, Liberation Day, the July state holidays and Christmas are key dates to test.
  • When fixed-date holidays fall on Tuesdays or Thursdays, a single leave day can create a four-day break.
  • Some public-sector and education employees have longer statutory leave than the four-week general minimum.

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.
