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.

Simplified comparison points. Actual legal thresholds may use anniversaries, cumulative service, education credits or other rules.

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.
