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 โ€” Good Friday plus Easter Monday gives four days โ€” and only statutory days off count, never days that are merely customary. All of these need no annual leave.

Days that are widely taken off but are not statutory โ€” Christmas Eve in Sweden, or the day after Ascension in Belgium โ€” do not count, because your employer is not obliged to give them to you.
