How to Maximize Your Time Off in 2025?

Maximizing time off in 2025 gives you a. great opportunity for a longer break without losing too many days off. Here are our tips how to schedule your office escapes:

• Easter - 10 Days Off: Easter arrives late in 2025, with Good Friday on April 18. By taking four vacation days either before or after Easter, you can enjoy a 10-day holiday from April 12 to April 21 or April 18 to April 27.

• Labor Day - 7 Days Off: If your employment contract includes bridge days, you can secure a 7-day break by taking leave on April 28, 29, and 30. This provides a full week off. If you work a half-day on April 30, you can still enjoy 4.5 days off without using any vacation days. Without bridge days, taking May 2 off gives you a 4-day holiday.

• Ascension Day on May 29th - 7 Days Off: Similar to Labor Day, by taking May 26, 27, and 28 off, you can enjoy a week-long holiday as summer nears. Without bridge days, taking May 30 off gives you a 4-day break.

• Christmas and New Year: 18 Days Off: The 2025 holiday season is excellent for extended time off. With bridge days, you can achieve 18 days off by using just four vacation days on December 22, 23, 29, and 30, allowing a break from December 20 to January 6. Without bridge days, you can still enjoy 16 days off by using five vacation days.
