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.

ยง 4b suspends 8 May and 15 September for 2026 only โ€” they are days off again from 2027. That per-year rule is why Slovakia reads 11 in 2026 and more in other years.

How are long weekends calculated?+
A long weekend forms whenever a public holiday falls on a Friday or a Monday, giving a 3-day weekend, without using any annual leave. It gets longer when holidays stack: Good Friday plus Easter Monday makes a 4-day weekend, and a holiday on both the Thursday and the Friday makes four days from Thursday to Sunday. 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.
