Method

  • Collective-leave dates are transcribed verbatim from ITM publications and are never projected forward from the sector rule, even where the rule makes the next year predictable. A year appears only once the ITM has published it.
  • Public holidays are the eleven days listed by the ITM under Article L.232-2 of the Labour Code. The eight fixed dates are literal; Easter Monday, Ascension and Whit Monday are computed from Easter Sunday using the Gregorian computus (Easter +1, +39 and +50 days).
  • days_inclusive counts CALENDAR days from start_date to end_date inclusive. It is not a count of working days and is not a leave entitlement.
  • Derogations are excluded from the dataset: they are granted case by case and are not a property of the period. The rules for obtaining one are described on the page.
  • Sector names are given in English plus the official French designation used by the ITM, so a row can be matched back to the source document without translation.
