Frequently asked questions

What is Super Leave?

Super Leave is a workday between holidays or weekends. Taking it off connects the break.

Why are only results with public holidays shown?

The algorithm requires at least one public holiday in the span, so pure weekend-only breaks are excluded.

How accurate is the holiday data?

We use date-holidays with a local adjustment sheet. Always verify with official sources.

Can I plan with an exact number of Super Leave days?

Yes. Use the Exact Super Leave option to match exactly the number of Super Leave days you want to take.
