Can justified absences affect the increase in vacation days?
The 22 working days of vacation guaranteed by the Labor Code are protected even during justified absences. However, if your employer or collective labor agreement offers additional 'bonus' vacation days based on attendance, these can be withheld if the attendance criteria are not met, even for legally protected absences like marriage or bereavement leave.
Why it matters
If your contract or collective agreement provides more than the statutory 22 days of vacation, check your specific policy or agreement; your employer may legally withhold these 'bonus' days if you have taken absences, even justified ones.SIC NotíciasRead original ↗
