Is an employee entitled to move leave?
Verified 12 July 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
No, it doesn't exist statutory leave provided for by law or by the Labor Code for the removal of the employee.
However, the employee may be granted moving leave if the collective agreement or a company agreement or a use provides for it.
If this is the case, these provisions (1 or 2 days of leave, for example) are binding on the employer.
An employee who is granted one or more days of leave shall then be paid during that day or days of absence.
So there is no loss of salary.
If the company does not contain specific provisions, the employer may refuse to grant the employee leave to move.
