Holidays, part I
So how to do holidays and weekends?
First of all, if the French Revolution tels us anything, people should have more holidays than before.
Two days off in a seven-day week is 20/70 off or 28.6% off.
Three days off in a ten-day week is 21/70 off or 30% off.
State holidays per year:
7: UK (plus bank holidays which vary by region)
10: Canada, US, Germany, Ireland, NZ,
11: France, Mexico
12: Zimbabwe
13: Argentina
15: Japan (21 for gov’t offices and many businesses)
So we get 10 state holidays per year (New Year's, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, Canada Day, Province Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving, Remembrance Day, Christmas and Boxing Day) plus, in theory 52.18 Saturdays and 52.18 Sundays per year for a theoretical total of 114.35 days out of 365.25 or 31.3% time off.
