How long weekends are calculated
A long weekend forms whenever a public holiday falls on a Friday or a Monday, giving a 3-day weekend. It runs longer when holidays stack — Good Friday plus Easter Monday gives four days — and only statutory days off count, never days that are merely customary. All of these need no annual leave.

Finland sets its holidays across several acts rather than one list — Independence Day by Act 388/1937, the church feasts by the Church Act. Midsummer Eve and Christmas Eve are widely free but are not statutory holidays, which is why we do not count them.
