What is a bridge day?
A bridge day (Brückentag in German, pont in French) is a working day that falls between a public holiday and a weekend. By taking that single day as annual leave, you effectively double or triple your time off. For example, if a public holiday falls on Thursday, taking Friday off gives you a 4-day weekend.
How is the efficiency score calculated?
The efficiency score is the ratio of total consecutive days off to leave days spent. A score of 4:1 means you get 4 days off for every 1 day of leave used. Higher scores represent better value. A score of ∞:1 means you get days off without using any leave at all (natural long weekends).
