After the first year of service an employee earns one calendar month of paid vacation leave a year, which builds up at two and a half days for every month worked.

Leave is fully paid. Accrual is monthly, so an employee who leaves partway through a year is owed the days already earned. Employment councils in some sectors provide more generous leave in their collective bargaining agreements, and where they do the more generous term applies.
