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

The Labor Code provides five days of paid service incentive leave after at least one year of service, subject to statutory exemptions and more favourable existing benefits.

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.
