PTO Booster
Turn 4 PTO Days into 9 Days of Vacation
Bridge days are working days tucked between public holidays and weekends. Ferientiger automatically calculates the highest-value combos.
What is a bridge day (BrΓΌckentag)?
When a public holiday falls on a Thursday, Friday becomes a bridge day. Taking just one day of PTO gives you a 4-day mini-vacation (Thursday through Sunday).
The Bridge Day Formula:
1 Day PTO+1 Holiday+2 Days Weekend=4 Days Off
