## Purpose

Checks a date against the Saturday-Sunday weekend baseline and exact 2026-2026 authority events. Requires explicit mon_fri_planning; education-only holidays do not create general rest.

**Do not use when:** Bulgaria 2026 nationwide statutory holidays, observed non-attendance days and January 2 one-off rest over an explicitly selected Monday-Friday planning baseline. November 1 is education-only and does not add general rest. No personal, shift, school, employer, bank/exchange, optional religious-leave, payroll or legal-deadline schedule is computed. Future years and additional local/sector closures are unsupported.

## Limitations

Bulgaria 2026 nationwide statutory holidays, observed non-attendance days and January 2 one-off rest over an explicitly selected Monday-Friday planning baseline. November 1 is education-only and does not add general rest. No personal, shift, school, employer, bank/exchange, optional religious-leave, payroll or legal-deadline schedule is computed. Future years and additional local/sector closures are unsupported. Apply 14 statutory dates, three observed non-attendance dates and January 2 one-off rest. Retain November 1 education-only annotation without adding general rest. Do not infer personal rosters. All values are computed from the formula above; no measurement or live data is involved.

## FAQ

**Is Monday-Friday mandatory for everyone?**

No. Select mon_fri_planning explicitly. Articles 153 and 154a preserve roster and shift exceptions. Individual attendance and pay are not computed.

**Do Easter weekends create extra substitute days?**

No. Article 154(2) excludes Easter. April 14 remains a planning workday.

**Is November 1 a rest day for all employees?**

No. Its non-attendance scope is educational institutions. This general calendar records the annotation but does not invent a nationwide November 2 rest day.
