Postponement of annual holidays. The employee’s holiday must, at the employee’s request, be postponed to a later date if the employee, at the start of or during his/her annual holiday, or part of it, or carried-over holiday is incapacitated due to an illness, childbirth or accident. The right to postpone concerns all annual holidays and carried-over holidays. If an employee exercises the right to postpone his/her annual holiday as a result of being incapacitated due to childbirth, an illness or an accident, the employee must provide the employer with a doctor’s note from the first day. The employer may issue written guidelines with a different procedure. Sick leave certificates and accounts must be given to the employer without delay. Application instructions: If an employee falls ill during his/her holiday and cannot, without significant inconvenience, obtain a doctor’s note, the employee must nevertheless provide the employer with some other reliable account of his/her incapacity for work.
