How basic leave is divided in AFU: 15 days rule
Division of annual leave into parts. Updated: October 2026.
The basic annual leave of 30 days can be divided into parts (2 blocks of 15 days each - a typical annual cycle), but at least 15 days must be taken continuously. The road - 2 days one way - is given for each part. Details below.
What in practice
Typical options: 15 days in the summer period + 15 days in the second half of the year. It is not possible to break it into smaller ones (for example, 5 days at a time) if it violates the rule of 15 days continuously. Road days do not "eat" vacation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to postpone vacation "for later"?
Planning ahead is yes. The rule of "one continuous block of 15 days or more" is an annual condition; fine division is not provided for by law.
The road from how many parts of the vacation?
Up to 2 days at one end — for the process of each part of the vacation, regardless of the length of the vacation.
