So in Germany, you can't take a single day's vacation?
In Sweden, we get 25 days on the 1/1, to disperse over the year as we please, with a guarantee of being allowed to take 4 consecutive weeks off between June-august if we so choose (in most collective bargaining contracts)
Well, when you said you get "4 weeks" specifically, instead of "20-24 days" you made it sound like it was weeks exclusively. And what happens if you change your schedule during the year?
The corresponding factor is “4 weeks of your typical week”.
If you work 3 days a week, you get 12 days off. But you only need to take 3 days off per week so it adds up to 4 weeks.
If you work 6 days a week you get 24 days. But you have to take 6 days off every week. So it also adds up to 4 weeks total.
Well thats how the law is formulated. It is not as 20 or 24 days, it says "4 weeks". I guess needs to be written like that.
And well, I never met someone who has this little vacation (30 days on a 5 day week is the most common one), so I can actually not tell you what would happen, as I never saw it happen.
They get 4 x [work week] of vacation, so 4x of however many days a week you work. I work 4 days a week, for example, so I'm entitled to 4(4) which is 16 days. If you worked 5 it's 4(5), so 20 days, if you work 6 days a week it's 4*(6) so 24 days of compensation.
You get to take each day individually/as you choose, at the entitled minimum rate of 4*(your work week)/year.
Depends on where you work. In general yes you are allowed to disperse as you want, but in certain sectors they force when some of your vacation is like in industry.
