How to read the plan
Each break shows how many days in a row you are away, from the first day off to the last, and the exact workdays to request. Green days are the ones to book. Red days are paid holidays from your list, which you get without using PTO.
The best value usually comes from four places: the Thursday and Friday around Thanksgiving, the days between Christmas and New Year's, the week around Independence Day, and Monday holidays such as Memorial Day where four PTO days turn a long weekend into nine days.

Questions
How does the planner choose days?
It looks at every stretch of weekends and company holidays in the year, works out how many PTO days it would take to join them into a break of at least your minimum length, and picks the set of breaks that gives the most total days off within your PTO budget. When two plans give the same days off, it keeps the one that uses fewer PTO days.
Does it count holidays that fall on a weekend?
Yes. Federal holidays that land on a Saturday move to Friday and Sunday holidays move to Monday, the rule most employers follow. Days such as Black Friday and Christmas Eve stay on their own date.
Why does it leave some PTO unused?
If the leftover days cannot make another break of your minimum length, the planner does not spend them. Lower the minimum break length to use them on shorter trips.
