- The fullest month is January with 22 working days; the lightest is February with 20.
- Counts use nationwide holidays only — regional ones (a state day in the US, a cantonal day in Switzerland) reduce the total further where they apply.
- Weekends are Saturday and Sunday. Half-day customs — a Christmas Eve afternoon, a Bayram eve — are not subtracted.
Which holidays are subtracted
The 8 nationwide holidays falling on weekdays come from the same dataset as the Canada public holidays 2025 page, which lists each one with the weekday it lands on — and how Canada's holiday system works:
- Canada layers federal statutory holidays with provincial ones: Family Day exists in several provinces on differing rules, Quebec keeps June 24, and retail-closing rules vary by province.
- That is why this list is long — it includes days observed only in some provinces, marked regional. An employer follows its own province’s list.
- Statutory holidays falling at a weekend generally give the employee a day in lieu; the observed date is the one printed.
