How calculations work
- Weekends use the default Saturday–Sunday pattern for Ireland unless a different work week is configured for that location.
- Public holidays from the official calendar count as non-working days. Inclusive ranges include both start and end dates.
- Natural long weekends need at least three consecutive days off with zero annual leave and at least one public holiday in the stretch.
- Leave efficiency is consecutive days off divided by leave days required. Employer approval and individual schedules may differ.
- School-holiday overlap notes appear only when verified school calendar data exists for the same year.
