Local calculation

The calculation uses Saturday and Sunday as the normal weekend. A listed public holiday does not automatically guarantee a paid day off for every employee; collective labour agreements and employment contracts matter.

Source and coverage

Official annual calendar checked. Official holidays in the European Netherlands; an employment contract or collective agreement determines time off.

Primary source: Government of the Netherlands 2026–2027 calendar. Critical payroll, legal and travel dates should still be confirmed with the relevant local authority.
