Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about public holidays, long weekends, and PTO planning.
A natural long weekend requires zero vacation days because a public holiday falls directly on a Friday or Monday (or connects with other holidays). A bridge weekend uses 1 single vacation day to bridge an isolated working day (like a Friday after Thursday's holiday) to create a 4-day block.
