At the factory there is a "Holiday Schedule", approved by the employer. According to this document, the order of annual holidays is observed. The schedule is developed for the purpose of normal operation of production during the absence of the employee. The document is agreed with the trade union bodies two weeks before the start of the new calendar year, but not later. The schedule is mandatory for execution by both the employer and the employee of the enterprise. The employee must be informed of the date of the holiday no later than two weeks before the start. By agreement of the parties, the annual paid vacation can be divided into parts. However, each of the shares must be at least 14 days (calendar).
