Which days count as vacation days in Sweden?

Sundays, other public holidays, Midsummer Eve, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve do not count as leave days. Saturdays therefore count under the Act, but collective and employment agreements often count five leave days per week for people working Monday to Friday.
