How to make your leave go further

Public-holiday planning

  • Easter is unusually valuable because several public holidays cluster around the long weekend.
  • Constitution Day on 17 May can create extra value depending on the weekday.
  • Christmas can form a long year-end break with relatively few leave days.

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.
