Annual leave days
With 80% or more attendance over a year a worker gets 15 days; with under 1 year of service or under 80% attendance, 1 day per month of full attendance (up to 11 days in the first year). From 3 years of service, 1 day is added for every 2 years beyond the first year, up to 25 days in total.
| Years of continuous service | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | 10 years | 21 years or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annual leave days | 15 days | 16 days | 17 days | 19 days | 25 days |
What this calculator cannot apply
Article 60 does not apply to workplaces with fewer than 5 regular workers. Fiscal-year based granting, more favourable collective agreement or work rules, leave-use promotion (Article 61), workers averaging under 15 hours a week over 4 weeks, and attendance deemed for leave of absence or maternity leave must be checked against company records and rules. For service under 1 year, full attendance in every month is assumed.
