A worker is entitled to 30 days of paid annual leave (art. 70). For the first year, leave is not earned until the worker has completed at least nine months in the employer's service. Official holidays and sick-leave days falling within the leave are not counted as part of it, and the worker earns leave for fractions of a year pro rata, even in the first year (art. 70).
Leave pay is paid before the leave is taken (art. 71). The employer sets the leave date and, with the worker's consent, may split it after the first 14 days. The worker may accumulate leave up to two years' worth, and more by agreement of both parties (art. 72).
A worker may not waive annual leave for compensation or otherwise, and the employer may reclaim the pay if the worker is shown to have worked for another employer during it (art. 74). On termination, the worker is entitled to a cash payment for accumulated annual leave days (art. 73).
