How to Use This Planner
Natural Long Weekends happen automatically when a public holiday falls on a Monday or Friday, giving you a 3-day weekend without using any vacation days.
Bridge Opportunities show where taking just 1-2 vacation days can create a 4-5 day break. These are perfect for maximizing your limited PTO.
Always verify holidays with your employer, as some companies may observe different dates or have additional company holidays.
