When are the long weekends in 2025?

A favorable arrangement of holidays allows you to take advantage of the so-called long weekends. Next year, thanks to the free Christmas Eve, two days of leave before Christmas (December 22 and 23) will be enough to not work for a week. An additional five days of leave between Christmas and Epiphany (December 29, 30 and 31, 2025 and January 2 and 5, 2026) will allow for a two-week rest.

Four-day long weekends can be planned in May, June and November, each time using only one day of leave: on Friday, May 2 – before Constitution Day on May 3; on Friday, June 20 – after Corpus Christi; on Monday, November 10 – before the National Independence Day.

According to the Labor Code, if a holiday falls on a Saturday, the employee has the right to an additional day off on a date agreed with the employer. And that means that The May holiday from May 1 to May 4 will also be possible without taking leaveprovided that the employer agrees to a day off on Friday, May 2, for the Constitution Day of May 3, which falls on Saturday. The situation will be similar in November if, for All Saints' Day falling on a Saturday, the employee will have the preceding Friday or the following Monday off.

Employees will have three days off without using vacation time from August 15 to 17, due to the Polish Army Day and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary falling on Friday.

How much leave you are entitled to

The number of days of holiday leave due depends on the length of service resulting from the employment contract. If an employee has been employed for less than 10 years, he or she is entitled to 20 days of leave. Employees employed for at least 10 years can take 26 days of leave.

According to the regulations, leaves are granted on the basis of a leave plan established by the employer. The plan does not cover the 4 days available as leave on request.
