Securing a day off on September 1st: A guide.
In Germany, parents on parental leave have the flexibility to work part-time up to 32 hours per week (30 hours for children born before September 1, 2021). This part-time work can be arranged by submitting a written application to the employer, specifying the start date and weekly hours at least seven weeks beforehand for children under 3 years. Adjustments can be made twice during the leave. It's important to note that working part-time during parental leave does not automatically guarantee a day off on September 1st, but it is permitted under these conditions.
Another interesting aspect is the linking of annual leave to September 1st. While this doesn't guarantee a day off, it allows employees to use their leave on that day with their employer's consent. Similarly, if an employee works on a holiday and their employer involves them, they can choose to receive an additional day off instead of overtime pay, which can be used on September 1st.
In Russia, September 1st is not a non-working holiday by law. However, employees can request unpaid leave for September 1st if their employer does not provide an additional day off. If an employer agrees to this request, the employee will be free from work but will lose a portion of their salary.
It's worth mentioning that the guarantee of an additional day off on September 1st may be outlined in an employment contract, internal labor regulations, a collective agreement, or other internal documents. Employees should check with their employer to see if there is such a guarantee and how to use it.
Interestingly, in Germany, if an employee belongs to a privileged category (for example, a parent with many children), they can take leave at any time convenient for them. In all cases, it's essential to confirm to the employer that you have a child of school or pre-school age when requesting an additional day off or unpaid leave on September 1st.
Lastly, it's worth noting that donating blood or blood components in Germany grants an employee an additional paid day off that can be used at any time, including September 1st. However, this does not necessarily guarantee a day off on September 1st, but it provides an additional paid day off that can be used at any time.
In conclusion, while the policies regarding an additional day off on September 1st vary between Germany and Russia, both countries offer opportunities for employees to take time off or work part-time during this period, subject to certain conditions and the employer's agreement. It's always advisable for employees to check with their employers regarding their specific policies and procedures.
