How the plans are calculated

The planner assumes Monday–Friday work and weekends plus confirmed nationwide public holidays off. A suggested leave date is a workday between the start and end of a continuous break. Actual approval and schedules vary.

2027 holidays

The linked calendar lists the year’s confirmed holidays and substitute dates separately. Check its source and review date because later temporary-holiday decisions are not added automatically.

High-value leave combinations

Leave taken immediately before or after a holiday block can connect it to a weekend. Compare the number of paid leave days used with total consecutive days off in the interactive planner.

Short breaks with one day of leave

A single workday between a public holiday and weekend can make a four-day or longer break. The best date depends on the confirmed calendar and your employer’s schedule.
