Working time, annual holidays and time off

Regular working time may not exceed eight hours per day and 40 hours per week. You will receive two days of holiday for each leave-earning month that you have worked if your employment has continued for less than one year at the end of the leave-earning year. Wages are paid for the holiday period and you may also be paid for holiday pay before or after your holiday.
