This is great news for all employees – last year’s annual leave is valid till the end of June 2022.
This is especially important for doctors and nurses working in the covid system as they haven’t been able to take a single day off for almost two years. Aleksandar Stojanović, a Director of the Health Center Palilula assures that everybody will be able to take holiday, no pressure whatsoever.
Miloš Vučković from the portal Radnik.rs estimates that the state has given a decent answer because it accepted the fact that the majority of workers weren’t able to use their leave due to the emergency state.
However, those who work in the private sector usually have malevolent employers that partially deprived them of holiday in the state of pandemic. CATUS Council Secretary Zoran Mihajlović warns it could lead to the accummulation of days off in the upcoming period.
Regardless of the sector, an employee may turn to the Labour Inspection if they think their rights have been violated and if they haven’t managed to agree with their employer about the extended term for annual leave.
