Under the old calendar, there were eighteen national holidays, and before the institution of the alternate-Saturdays-off system, there were a total of 95 non-working days in a year. With the elimination of eight national holidays, under the new workweek policy there are now 99 non-working days in a year, an increase of only four days.
然而，實際算一算，原本政府機關的國定假日有十八天，如按舊制，全年放假日為九十五天；刪減八天後，加上週休，一年的總放假日為九十九天，只增加了四天。
