Transfer of holidays falling on Thursdays. It may be agreed at a workplace to transfer leave in connection with the contractual holidays Ascension Day and the First Day of Summer, both of which always fall on a Thursday, to another working day, e.g. Friday or Monday, or to link it to other leave taken by the employees. A decision on a different day off work or another arrangement covering the taking of this leave shall apply to all the employees concerned and shall be determined by the choice of the majority. In this case, the same wages will be paid for these days as for other working days, and the workers will retain their daytime pay when they take days off on the new holidays. If employees are specially requested to work on the new holidays, they shall be paid after-hours/overtime rates in addition to daytime rates unless other provisions are made in collective agreements regarding shift work. If an employee has not taken the day off when he leaves the employ of the employer, payment shall be made for it in his final wage settlement, at the rate for 8 daytime working hours (based on full-time employment). Deviations from the general rules of this Agreement over and above the limits set out above shall be permitted only in cases where the approval of the commercial workers’ union and employers’ union involved has been obtained. Employment contracts shall state the part played in the employee’s wages and terms by the special company agreement.
