You can easily secure an extended autumn break without using up your leave balance by strategic booking. Because Freedom Day (27 April) sits immediately adjacent to Workers’ Day (1 May), you can bridge the gap between them.

By targeting the specific mid-week days separating these dates with just 3 or 4 days of approved annual leave, you can unlock an uninterrupted 9 to 10-day vacation window. You can map out your exact time-off schedule using our dedicated online Leave Date Cheat Sheet.
