The best value breaks
- Christmas to New Year: Christmas 2026 and New Year’s Day 2027 are both Fridays. Take leave from Monday 28 to Thursday 31 December 2026 and you are off for 10 days.
- Hari Raya Haji and Vesak Day: Monday 17 and Thursday 20 May. Take leave on 18, 19 and 21 May for 9 days off with only 3 days of leave.
- Chinese New Year, Good Friday, Hari Raya Puasa and National Day: 4 days of leave each turns them into 9-day breaks.
- Deepavali (Thursday 28 October): one day of leave on Friday 29 October gives a 4-day weekend.
For managers: plan the team’s leave early
- Everyone sees the same hacks. Expect clashing requests for the May and December breaks, and agree a fair way to decide early (first come, rotation, or a team rota).
- Put the year on one shared rota so cover gaps show up before they happen. The free leave and rota planner already has these holidays.
- Labour Day (1 May) and Christmas (25 December) fall on a Saturday. Employees on a 5-day week are entitled to another day off or a day’s pay instead; agree which in advance. See public holiday pay.
- Check annual leave balances with the annual leave calculator, and see the full date list on public holidays 2027.
- Team in Malaysia too? The Malaysia 2027 long weekends planner covers every state, including the Friday–Saturday weekend states.
