Leave
The Labor Standards Act prescribes minimum periods of paid annual leave based on an employee's seniority. 10 days of annual leave must be allowed following the employee's first 6 months of service. The minimum amount of annual leave increases each year thereafter following a fixed schedule (as per the contract).
Several forms of unpaid leave are also provided by law, including maternity leave, child care leave, family care leave and nursing leave.
