How these dates are selected
LeaveGain uses the full nationwide holiday calendar so nearby public holidays can contribute to a break. It searches seven-day windows around holidays, keeps breaks containing this holiday, and compares one- and two-day leave options by efficiency and duration. These are the best candidates found within that search, rather than a guaranteed optimum for every work schedule. Breaks stay within 2026.
