Moving of Thursday holidays. It is authorised to agree at a workplace that contractually bound holidays for Ascension Day and for the first day of summer, which both always fall on a Thursday, are moved to another working day, e.g. Friday or Monday, or are joined to other holidays taken by employees. A decision on a new day off or arrangement for time off covers all appropriate employees and is decided by a choice made by the majority. The same wages are paid for these days as for other working days and employees retain their day work pay when time off is taken on the new days off. If employees are specifically requested to work on new days off, overtime and day rates are paid, unless provisions on shifts in the collective agreement prescribe otherwise. If a day off has not been taken at the end of an employee’s employment, this shall be paid in his wages settlement with 8 hours at the daily rate, with reference to full time employment. Exceptions from general rules of the collective agreement in excess of the above specified limits is therefore only authorised where endorsements of the union in question and of SA are in place.
