Employees

Wage earners are entitled to holidays and holiday allowance. Holidays and holiday allowance is, on the one hand, the right to have holidays/a summer holiday, and, on the other, the right to wages during the holiday, holiday allowance.

Salaries are a point of negotiation between the employer and the employee, and shall be paid in accordance with the arrangement determined in the employment contract.

Sick leave rights allow wage earners, through their work, to earn certain rights to a wage during absences due to their own illness or that of their children. Special rules apply for accidents at work and occupational illnesses

The role of unions is first and foremost to negotiate, on behalf or their members, wages and other employment terms in collective wage agreements and to protect their interests in the labour market.
