Leave for vacation

Let's begin with in the labor legislation the concept of "time off" is absent. There is the notion of an extra time of rest provided as compensation for time that was worked overtime, on a weekend or non-working holiday.

If you recycled or went to work on your day off, you can Use this compensation on the day when you can not get to work. But you can not use it "in advance": do not go out to work today, and work off as a weekend later. Only the recycling that has already happened is compensated.

Please note that such extra days off are not paid for, since there are two types of compensation for overtime work: either payment or provision of additional rest time, but not both compensation immediately.

So, it turns out, you can not take time off on the holiday account? The way is, only Such absenteeism will be considered not a day off, but an unscheduled vacation. The essence remains the same: you do not go to work, and this day is deducted from the total duration of your vacation. This is possible due to the fact that annual paid holidays can be broken up into parts. Of course, this will work in the event that you have not yet had time to use all your vacation this year.

So, you need to apply for an annual paid leave of one calendar day (or as many days as you need a day off). The employer will issue an order to grant leave, as well as make changes in the schedule of holidays, because this kind of vacation is unscheduled. The payment of leave is calculated in the same way as for the basic leave, vacation pay is also paid, as with ordinary leave.

In this case, do not forget that When dividing a holiday into parts, one of the parts must be at least fourteen calendar days. That is, roughly speaking, it is impossible to break allleave for a small "time off": once a year you will have to go on vacation for at least two weeks. Take this into account and do not abuse short-term holidays.

If you have already had a basic vacation, you can try to take a vacation instead leave without pay (leave at own expense). You write an application for leave without pay, indicating the reason, and the employer on its grounds issues an order to grant leave. Or does not publish.

The catch is that the decision to grant leave at their own expense is taken by the employer: it decides whether it is sufficiently respectfulThe reason you want to take unpaid leave. So in this case, only on your relationship with the employer depends on whether you get your day off or not. But in exceptional cases (birth of a child, marriage registration, death of a close relative), you must provide this leave.

So, in brief we will sum up all the above. It is not possible to take time off on account of vacation, because there is no such thing as a "vacation" in the labor legislation, and the wording "on leave" does not comply with the norms of labor legislation. If you are forced for some reasonabsent from work one or several days, you make out a vacation - either take part of the annual paid vacation, or take out leave at your own expense. The possibility of splitting vacation into parts or the duration of leave without pay is determined by agreement between the employee and the employer.
