How is the rest holiday calculated?

The minimum duration of the rest holiday is of 20 working days per year. The real duration of the annual rest holiday is established by the appliable collective work contract, and is stipulated in the individual work contract and is given proportionally with the work done during the year. The legal holidays free of work, as well as paid free days established by the appliable collective work contract are not included in the duration of the annual rest holiday.

For the employees with a individual work contract limited in time, the annual rest holiday is given proportionally with the specific work time.
The rest holiday is given every year. As an exception to this rule, taking the holiday the following year is allowed only in the cases expressly stipulated by the law or in the cases stipulated in the appliable collective work contract.

The employer is compelled to give the holiday, up to the end of the following year, to all the employees who have not taken all of the rest holiday they were in entitled to that year.

The compensation in money of a not taken rest holiday is allowed only in the case of the completion of the individual work contract.

The employees who work in difficult, dangerous, or harming circumstances, blind people, other people with handicaps, and young people up to 18 years of age benefit from a suplimentary rest holiday of at least 3 days.

During the period of the rest holiday, the employee benefits from a holoiday indemnity that can be smaller than the total value of the salary rights for that period. The rest holiday indemnity represents the daily average of the salary in the month of the holiday, multiplied with the number of holiday days. This indemnity is payd by the employer at least five days before the start of the holiday.
