How to make your leave go further

Public-holiday planning

  • Look closely at Easter: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Monday can make a small leave booking stretch into a long break.
  • Ascension Day often creates an efficient Thursday-to-Sunday break, especially if you can book the Friday.
  • Christmas and New Year can be strong when weekdays line up favourably.

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.
