How it works
- Assumes a Monday–Friday job: weekends and public holidays need no leave.
- Uses the province's statutory holidays; optional days count as workdays unless you tick the box above.
- “Holiday by holiday” lists each upcoming holiday from today on, with the longest break your days can buy around it, nearest first.
- “Longest single break” finds the longest run of days off; “Most days off in total” splits your days across several breaks to maximise the total; “One long trip + long weekends” keeps at least one break of 9+ days.
- Leave is taken within the year; a break may run into the New Year days just before or after it.
