Next year, employers and employees we will only have to plan with one moved working day. The first long weekend of 2021 will fall on the start of the year, 5 rest days will be on weekends and, in addition, we will have six long weekends and a 4-day weekend in the coming year.
Employers and employees will have to calculated with fewer rescheduled working days in the work schedule of 2021 than in previous years and these will affect the period before Christmas. The only four day weekend of 2021 will relate to Easter. Taking the 5 rest days falling on weekends into account, we can plan with 5 extra rest days in the first half of the year and with 3 in the second half.
