In NZ, loads of professional firms shut down over Xmas as it’s summer. They basically make their staff take at least two weeks leave over this time because there’s no provision in employment law to force them to find work for people who don’t want to holiday then. My wife was a lawyer so she got caught up in this, used to annoy the shit out of me being forced to use so much leave at a time we did’t want to.
- Curzel 4y agoMost Italian companies do this for Christmas/new years eve, but also for “Ferragosto” 15th of august, some mandating even 2 weeks off!! Italy, as a whole is basically completely shut off during the central weeks in august, with hotel prices easily doubling July prices… go figure out why hahaah By law, there’s generally 4 weeks go paid leave, and the unwritten agreement is that the employer peeks 2 of them for you… Tech companies generally dont do this, maybe to feel more international and modern
