Types of holidays in accordance with the labor legislation of the Russian Federation

A vacation is a temporary exemption from work for a certain period of time, with the preservation of this place. The main types of vacations are provided by the main legislative act in the sphere of labor relations - the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. According to this code of laws, each person engaged in work has the right to annual paid leave, some categories of workers (minors, young mothers, disabled, war veterans) have an additional benefit in employment and recreation.

In accordance with Article 122 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the first leave may be granted to the employee six months after the beginning of his work for a particular employer. However, in real life, everything can be quite different. For example, often the head refuses to give his employee rest on time. The reasons for this can be a lot: "irreplaceability" of the employee in the workplace, lack of staff, unwillingness to pay vacation, etc. Refusal to grant a holiday to the employee by the manager is illegal and may be appealed in court. As practice shows, such trials are very rare.

The release of an employee who has worked in a certain place for less than six months can be carried out if he is a minor or adoptive parent of a child under the age of three. Rest must necessarily be given to a woman who is at an early pregnancy, regardless of the period of time she has worked for a particular employer.

Types of holidays (paid):

- Annual main holiday. Its duration is 28 days, including weekends. Extended annual leave (28 days or more) may be granted to the following categories of persons: minors, disabled persons, prosecutors, courts, colleges, universities, school employees, additional education institutions, municipal and civil servants, candidates of sciences and rescuers. This list can be expanded.

- The annual additional leave is intended for people working in extreme conditions (for example, in northern areas), in hazardous or dangerous production, as well as for employees who have an irregular working schedule.

- The study leave is granted to the employee on the basis of presentation of a certificate from the relevant institution. The length of rest and payment in this case depends on the form and the course of study.

- The employer gives the maternity leave after the presentation of the sick leave sheet from the women's consultation issued at the 30th week of pregnancy. The length of her rest in this case is 70 days before and after the birth of the child. In the case of difficult births, this period can be increased to 86 days, at the birth of twins - up to 110 days.

- A leave to take care of a child can be provided at the personal request of a woman, her basic income in this case will be formed from the state social insurance benefit. A woman who is on leave for caring for a baby (until he reaches, as a rule, three years), retains a working place and position.

Types of holidays (unpaid):

- Leave without pay can be obtained by the employee at any time on the application written by him. In this case, the employer, as a rule, assesses the need to provide rest and has the right to refuse it. Usually unpaid leave may be required in case of death or illness of relatives, problems with housing, etc. It can not be denied to working pensioners, participants in the Second World War, invalids, persons entering into marriage, etc.

All the main types of holidays are established by the legislation of the Russian Federation, the violation of which, both by the employer and by the employee, can be appealed in court.
