  • 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.

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
