PAID ANNUAL LEAVE OF A WORKER WITH A PERMANENTLY REDUCED WORKING CAPACITY

I am employed with the right to work. Am I entitled to additional paid annual leave beyond the 20 working days?

In Art. 319 of the Labor Code stipulates that employees with a permanently reduced working capacity of 50 and over 50 percent have the right to basic paid annual leave in the amount of not less than 26 working days.

The leave under Art. 319 of the Labor Code, to which workers and employees with a permanently reduced work capacity of 50 and over 50 percent are entitled, is essentially a basic paid annual leave and is used on a special basis provided for this legal basis (in the 26 working days are including the 20 working days under Article 155, Paragraph 4 of the Labor Code).

A larger amount of leave under Art. 319 of the Labor Code can be agreed in the collective labor agreement, as well as between the parties to the employment relationship.
