Today was my last day @ work. At least I thought so.



A few weeks ago I officially quit my job and told my bosses that I have remaining vacation days and will thus leave in early October with my contract running out in November.



However, we never discussed specific dates. We have a holiday table which gets updated every now and then but was broken and not visible to me for the last few weeks ( we are a small startup so things are not that organized ).



Based on my memory and, assuming that I have 19 days remaining holiday, I just set a date for my last day @ work by myself, based on which I though was correct.



Today my boss asked me about my official leaving date (according to my contract and not my last day @ work, he knew that that was today) and my remaining holidays. A bit surprised I replied that I checked it myself and that it should be okay. He replied that he will check it and write me an email the next days.



Today after work I double checked, just to be sure, and noticed that I wrongly assumed that one day is public holiday, plus I may be out by one day in my calculations ( not quite sure ).
So instead of 19 days it may just be, 19 - 1 ( due to miscalculation ) - 1 ( due to wrongly assumed public holiday ) = 17 days.



It actually does not make that much sense to come in again for work, since I said goodbye to everyone and finished the project. I left with a good relationship and do not want to appear as if I want to sneak some extra holiday. Should I just wait and hope they do not notice or write an email apologizing and informing them they can discount the additional hours from my last paycheck ?
