24 mins confidence: 
day customarily taken off Explanation: This means days which are not public holidays and which are not official days off but on which many or even all of the staff customarily take the day off because of some local, regional or even national event. "Carnival Monday" is a good example - it's not a public holiday but in the areas where Carnival is celebrated it's difficult to find anyone in their office on that day. |

peer agreement (net): +1customary leave day Explanation: I know that "customary leave" is used to cover periods when leave is usually granted for days other than actual public holidays, e.g. around Christmas and Easter, but there might be a better term for your context. http://www.stmarys-belfast.ac.uk/administration/personnel/em... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2006-03-29 12:58:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, forgot to quote from the page I linked to: "In addition to contractual annual leave of up to 25 days, 6 days customary leave over Christmas and Easter plus 11 Public holidays" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 38 mins (2006-03-29 13:25:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In your context, "customary holidays" would probably suffice. |
