4. Employees may not request more vacation days than earned at the relevant time for the desired vacation. If the employee wishes to book vacation that have not been earned, a registration type "Own paid day off" has been created which the employee must use.
Own paid day off must be used if the required number of vacation days have not been earned at the time in question of the desired vacation.
Employee combines his earned vacation days with pay with his own paid days off without pay.
The method allows the employee to take more than 25 vacation days per year. But a vacation in addition to 25 days per year is paid by the employee himself.
