Weekends, public holidays and sick leaves should not be considered as part of the annual leave. The employee has the right to fractions of the year within which he worked for the employer, including the first year in service.

The explanatory memo contains objectives for imposing protection of employee with emphasis on guarantees. This is in addition to protecting financial rights of the employee, as well as ensuring equality between private sector employees and their counterparts in the public sector.
