What counts as a long weekend

A run of three or more consecutive non-working days: a Saturday, a Sunday, or a national public holiday, taken on the day it is actually observed. A bridge day is a single working day sitting between two non-working blocks, so taking it off as leave produces a run of four or more days for the cost of one day of leave. Both definitions and the full calculation are on the methodology page.
