According to legislation, an employee acquires the right to take annual leave for the first year of employment after completing six months of work from the date the employment contract is concluded.

However, there are several categories of employees who are entitled to take annual leave for the first year of employment regardless of the duration of their service, i.e., without waiting for six months from the date of concluding the employment contract.

These employees include

disabled persons,

employees under the age of eighteen,

women (immediately before or after social leave due to pregnancy and childbirth),

employees hired within 3 months of being discharged from active military service,

wife (husband) of a military serviceman,

persons studying in educational institutions (during the period of coursework or exams, diploma defense),

substitute workers who go on leave at their main place of work.

Pedagogical employees directly involved in the teaching and learning process are also granted leave during the summer holidays in schools or, with the consent of the employer, during the academic year, regardless of when they started working.
