# Employee Vacations

<p class="callout info">For employees, who join during the year and have a fixed-term employment, the system calculates a proportional share of vacation leave for use.</p>

<p class="callout danger">If full-time employment does not begin on the 1st of the month, the proportional share is not taken into account for that month (only full months are always considered for the calculation of the proportional share).</p>

#### Vacation - Usage

Vacation leave is divided into 3 groups in the **"Annual leave balance"** graph:

- **Used leave** (<span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">red</span>)
- **Carried-over leave** (<span style="color: rgb(241, 196, 15);">yellow</span> – unused leave from the previous year)
- **Current year's leave** (<span style="color: rgb(45, 194, 107);">green</span> – leave for the current year)

Every employee can use as much leave as they have available.

<p class="callout info">The number of leave days available for use is the sum of employee's current year vacation days, transferred vacation day, bonus vacation days and additional vacation days, linked to their work position. </p>

Unused annual leave is transferred into next year as transferred leave for the following year. Transferred leave is used up first, but must be used in the first half of the year, otherwise it expires.

<p class="callout danger">If you submit a leave request for the second half of the year during the first half of the year (while unused carried-over leave is still available), the **"current year's"** leave will be used for that request.</p>
