CONTRACTUAL HOLIDAYS Clause Samples
The 'Contractual Holidays' clause defines the specific days on which employees are entitled to paid time off in addition to statutory holidays. Typically, this clause lists recognized holidays such as company-specific days, religious observances, or additional leave days agreed upon in the employment contract. Its core function is to provide clarity and consistency regarding employee entitlements to holiday leave, helping to prevent disputes and ensuring both parties understand the terms of paid time off beyond legal minimums.
CONTRACTUAL HOLIDAYS. 1. The extended holiday, 5 working days, cf. §15 of the Holidays Act, will be paid in advance by introducing the remaining part as a regulated scheme and is included as an appendix to all collective agreements. Extra holidays of 6 working days for employees over 60 years of age is maintained, cf. the Holidays Act, §5 no. 2. An employee may demand 5 working days off each calendar year, cf. the Holidays Act, §5 no. 1. If the contractual holiday is split up, the employee can only demand time off for as many days as the person in question should normally work during a week. If the authorities decide to implement the remaining part of the fifth holiday week, these days shall be deducted from the contractual scheme.
2. Holiday pay is calculated in accordance with §10 of the Holidays Act. In connection with the introduction of the fifth holiday week, the general percentage rate for holiday pay shall be 12% of the holiday pay basis, cf. the Holidays Act, §10 no. 2 and 3. If the authorities decide to extend the number of holiday days in the Holidays Act, it is a prerequisite for the parties that the above figures are used as a holiday allowance for the corresponding period.
3. The employer determines the time of the contractual holiday after discussions with the shop stewards or the individual employee at the same time as the determination of the ordinary holiday. The employee may demand to be notified of the determination of the contractual part of the holiday as early as possible and no later than two months before the taking of the holiday, unless special reasons prevent this.
4. An employee may demand holiday time in accordance with this provision, regardless of earning holiday pay. If operations are completely or partially stopped in connection with the taking of holidays, all the employees affected by the shut-down can be ordered to take holidays of the same length, regardless of earning holiday pay.
5. An employee may demand that the contractual part of the holiday shall be given as a contiguous period within the holiday year, cf. the Holidays Act, §7 no. 2, so that 1 week of continuous holiday is achieved. The main organisations encourage the parties to place the contractual holiday so that the requirement for productivity is addressed to the greatest possible extent, for example in connection with Ascension Thursday, Easter, and the Christmas and New Year weekend.
6. By written agreement between the company and the individual, the contractual holiday can b...

CONTRACTUAL HOLIDAYS. All PTO is at the discretion of the employer. PTO requested between January 1 and March 1 of each calendar year shall be approved on the basis of seniority.

All requests received after March 1 of each year shall be approved on a first-come, first-served basis. In all cases, employees shall not be required to split their PTO time. In addition, all PTO requests after March 1 shall be responded to no later than two (2) weeks after being received by the employer.
CONTRACTUAL HOLIDAYS. To help in providing for a robust, efficient and adaptable public sector is an important task for the parties. A fundamental condition, when introducing contractual holidays, is therefore that public agencies are able to increase their flexibility in order to compensate for any resulting drawbacks and thereby maintain the level of service production and service to the public. The employees also have varying needs for arrangements involving deviating working hours in relation to the different phases of life, working and living situations, etc. It is expected that increased flexibility in combination with the contractual fifth week of holiday will help to reduce absence through sickness, and enhance productivity.
1. The parties agree to implement the fifth week of holiday regardless of section 15 of the Holidays Act, so that holiday pursuant to the Holidays Act and contractual holiday together constitute a total of 30 working days. Of this, the contractual holiday comprises five working days. Additional holiday of six working days for employees over 60 years of age shall be maintained, cf. the section 5 (1) and (2) of the Holidays Act.
2. Employees shall be entitled to five working days free each calendar year, cf. section 5 (4) of the Holidays Act, in addition to the statutory 25 working days, cf. section 5 (1) of the Holidays Act. If the contractual holiday is divided up, employees may only take free as many days as they would normally work during the course of a week.
3. If it is decided that the remaining part of the fifth week of holiday shall be implemented as a general arrangement, cf. the Holidays Act section 15, these days shall be deducted from the contractual arrangement.
4. Holiday pay for the remaining part of the fifth week of holiday will be calculated and paid in accordance with the agreement concluded between the central parties.
5. The ordinary percentage rate for holiday pay shall be 12 per cent of the basis for calculating holiday pay, cf. section 10 (2) and (3) of the Holidays Act. If an increase is made in the number of statutory days of holiday granted by the Holidays Act, it is assumed by the parties that the above percentage rates for the holiday earning year will be used as the basis for calculating holiday pay for corresponding periods.
6. The employer fixes the dates of the contractual holiday after discussions with the union representatives or with the individual employee at the same time as fixing the dates of ordinary holiday. ...
