Secondary abstract: |
The following work, captures the acquisition and usage of annual leave in the Republic of Slovenia, as well in private and in public sector. The annual leave entitlement is one of the fundamental workers rights. It is recognized and established in many different legislations and acts. Since a new Labour Relations Act was adopted, it brought us new and modified provisions, in regard to annual leave. A National legislation and case-law have a big influence on annual leave regulation, and so does the case-law by Court of Justice of the European Union.
A worker can gain the annual leave entitlement in its entirety or in proportionate part. In behalf of proportionate part, the right to acquisition of annual leave, when a worker changes the employer during calendar year, is being presented. The right to holiday allowance and compensation of the salary, are also very much connected to annual leave acquisition.
The usage of annual leave is more complex, because it opens many issues and questions about transfer of unused annual leave to a next period. A new National legislation follows the wide-ranged case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, when it comes to transfer of annual leave, when a worker was absenced due to sickness or due to maternity/paternity leave. Only in case of termination of employment, the institut of compensation of unused annual leave, can be used.
The regulation of annual leave in our domestic legislation, and in Britain’s legislation, are different in many perspectives. That being said, the comparison between these two is going to be made, in the end of my work. |
