However, employees aged 18 and young and aged 50 and older are entitled to a minimum of 20 days. In addition, employees are also allowed to take up to 4 days leave without pay, on the condition that the employee provides evidence that they are spending their annual leave at a place other than where the work place is located. Employee’s wage, pertaining to the period of annual leave, should be paid in advance or by raising an advance payment prior to commencement of the leave.
Leave periods may be divided by mutual consent, provided that one of the parts shall not be less than ten days. If the employee leaves before completing one years of service there will be no annual leave on pro rata basis.
Increased annual leave entitlement and annual leave on pro rate basis can be granted through employers and collective agreements.
