Frequently asked questions
How is leave converted for part-time?
Leave days × your working days per week ÷ 5. Example: 30 days × 3 ÷ 5 = 18 days – you get the same number of weeks off as full-time colleagues.
What is the statutory minimum?
24 working days per year based on a 6-day week, which equals 20 days on a 5-day week (§ 3 BUrlG). Many contracts grant more.
What if I start in the middle of the year?
If you cannot complete the 6-month waiting period in that calendar year, you get 1/12 of the annual leave for each full month of employment (§ 5 BUrlG).
