praznici, koito njamat fiksirana data
Explanation:
ne sum siguren za tochnija termin na BG, no mozhe da se prevede kato "praznici, koito njamat fiksirana data/den" ili "plavashti praznici"

Holidays can be thought of as being either Fixed or Floating. Fixed holidays are those that occur on the same day each year, such as Christmas. Floating holidays are those which occur on different days in different years. For example, Thanksgiving (in the US) occurs on the fourth Thursday of November. Therefore, we need a function that will calculate the fourth Thursday. We'll generalize that function, in both VBA and worksheet function form, to return the Nth day-of-week for any month and year.

Other floating holidays are a bit harder to calculate. For example, in the US, Memorial Day occurs on the last Monday of May. Depending on the year, this may be either the 4th or 5th Monday. So we need a function to calculate the number of Mondays in May. We'll generalize this to compute the number of any day-of-week in any month and year.

agree  Milena Sahakian: празници без определена дата. (от рода на Великден където всяка година се изчислява датата)Тука е преведено 'плаващи празници', но мисля, че са го взели от английския - http://www.bg-mamma.com/contents.php?id=422

Explanation:
EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK
Holidays

Regular full-time employees are paid eight (8) hours for each holiday, regular part-time employees are paid for holidays based upon the number of hours they are normally scheduled. Temporary employees are not paid for holidays, unless they are specifically requested to work on the designated holiday (see Overtime).

The floating holidays are available to all full-time employees beginning the first of January following the employees first anniversary. Once eligible, the floating holiday are available annually. Floating holidays must be scheduled with, and approved, by your supervisor at least three (3) weeks in advance of the requested date, and may not be taken consecutively. Floating holidays may not be carried forward to be used in the following year.
