If the entire week’s vacation or time credit is taken, one day will be credited as extra vacation (even if time credit is used). If employees absolutely have to work on certain days (e.g. due to teaching), these days will also be credited as vacation. Employees who absolutely cannot take leave for the entire week (e.g. University security) will also be credited with an additional day’s leave.
The respective managers will decide on the definition of absolute necessity to work, which must be interpreted very closely.
Examples:
- Vacation from January 4 to 8 = 4 days of vacation and one day off work
- Vacation from January 4 to 8, but absolutely necessary work on January 6 (e.g. supervising a lecture) = 3 vacation days, one day off work relieved of duties, one working day
- Vacation on January, 4 and 5, working from home (non-mandatory) January 6 and 7, but January 8 requires absolutely necessary work = 2 days of vacation, no day off relieved of duties, and three working days
