How we verified the 2028 dates

Fixed days come straight from art. 139(1) of the Labour Code. Orthodox Easter 2028 is Sunday 16 April: we computed it with the Orthodox computus (the Meeus algorithm, also used in the app's tests) and cross-checked it with published calendars. That puts Good Friday on 14 April and Pentecost on 4–5 June. The Patriarchate's official Easter table only covers 2008–2025 and the Church's 2028 calendar was not out when we checked, so we will re-check it then.

Bridges 2028

“Leave days” are paid annual leave days (working days only). “Days off” counts the whole stretch, weekends and holidays included. An option is listed only if it gives more days off than the option with one leave day less. The request date is 60 days before the first leave day, moved back to the previous working day.

FAQ

How many public holidays does Romania have in 2028?

17, under art. 139(1) of the Labour Code. 13 fall on a weekday (Monday–Friday) and 4 on a weekend.

When is Orthodox Easter in 2028?

Sunday, 16 April 2028. Good Friday and Easter Monday are days off too, so the Easter break runs 14 April – 17 April (4 days off) without any leave.

Are holidays that fall on a weekend moved to a weekday?

No. The Labour Code does not grant a replacement day when a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday.

Is 10 May a day off in 2028?

No. The bill (PL-x 554/2026) was rejected by the Senate and is in committee in the Chamber of Deputies; it is not law (checked 23 October 2026). 10 May 2028 is a Wednesday.
