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 have worked continuously for one year are entitled to at least six working days of paid annual vacation; employers may grant pro-rata leave before one year.

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.
