No, mandatory EU minimums enforce at least 5 weeks of vacation.
- bosie 10y agodo you happen to know how 'vacation' is defined? would it include national holidays?
- hedwall 10y agoIt does not.
- bosie 10y agoFair. Seems like it isn't 5 but 4 weeks that is mandatory in the EU.
- robert_foss 10y agoIt's 5 + national holidays.
- bosie 10y agoI am not doubting you though when i tried to look it up I found the EU requirement to be 20 days + national holidays (e.g. ireland, italy, Czech Republic,...). How would this be allowed if the EU requires 25 days?
- hedwall 10y agoYes, but you can carry over one week for up to five years. (I know people that does this and takes 10 weeks vacation in one stretch at year 5).
