How many weekdays

We therefore count as average 5 business days — or working days — in a work week. Of course, some people may work during week-end days or public holidays but that is not the majority. The working time is calculated over a reference period of 17 weeks meaning that you can work more than 48 hours one week or more as long as your working time over 17 weeks is less. This limit also applies to people with several jobs.

The only exception to this rule is for people working on the offshore oil and gas section weekly working time is averaged on 52 weeks and trainee doctors working reference of 26 weeks.

And they will be paid holidays. In the private sector, things are more complicated. Only Massachusetts and Rhode Island have provisions that say employees must get these days off with pay. Or else get extra pay when they come in on these days. Their custom dates may surprise you. Knowing now can save you headaches later when planning your vacation or long weekend trip.

Public employers generally have to grant employees paid leave. On all or at least some public holidays. Or give them extra pay for coming in on these days. But in practice they face liability for direct discrimination. Employers with 15 or more employees must make reasonable accommodations for religious observances.
