Bridging days can be a blessing, because those who take their vacation in 2021 correctly can get a lot of free time with just a few vacation days.
Vacation planning 2021:
Those who use
vacation days
correctly can get a lot of
free time
.
The
vacation
can be
quickly extended
with
bridging
days.
Easter and Ascension Day are particularly favorable in 2021.
Frankfurt - Germans have an average of 28
vacation days
a year at leisure.
Depending on the employer, it can be more or less.
The question quickly arises of how you can get
even more vacation
thanks to
public holidays
.
It
won't be easy
for
2021
, because many of these days fall on weekends.
Good for employers but bad for employees.
Skillful
planning and the correct use of bridging
days pays off anyway to get more free days.

If you take the bridging days 2021 into account when planning your vacation, you can get twice as many vacation days in a row.

From the employee's point of view, the
2021 holidays are
initially not very encouraging.
May 1st will be Saturday and German Unity Day (October 3rd) will be Sunday.
The two Christmas holidays and New Year also fall on a weekend.
However
, if you make good use of
the
bridging
days on other public holidays
, you can still have more free time.
Plan your vacation cleverly: This is how the 2021 holidays fall - with little vacation too much free time
Especially over
Easter, Good Friday and Easter Monday are
the topic of
vacation
much to get.
Those who take vacation from March 29th to April 1st have only used 4 vacation days, but 10 days off in a row.
This also works if the vacation is submitted for April 6th to 9th.
4 vacation days become 10 days that can be spent away from the office.
