[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":28},["ShallowReactive",2],{"content-vacation-calculator-en":3},{"about":4,"steps":7,"faq":12},[5,6],"Under the German Federal Vacation Act (Bundesurlaubsgesetz, BUrlG), employees are entitled to at least 24 working days of vacation per year. The law assumes a 6-day week; for a 5-day week that is 20 days. Employment contracts often provide more, e.g. 30 days. Part-timers working fewer days get proportionally fewer vacation days, but the same number of weeks off.","It gets complicated when changing jobs: if you start or leave during the year, you get either the full entitlement or 1\u002F12 for each full month, depending on the date. The calculator applies the rules of §§ 4 and 5 BUrlG, rounds according to § 5 (2) and includes the additional leave for severely disabled people under § 208 SGB IX.",[8,9,10,11],"Enter the year and the vacation days from your contract, plus the working days per week they refer to (usually 5).","Enter your actual working days per week, e.g. 3 when working part-time.","If you started or are leaving this year, enter the date.","The result shows your entitlement and explains which rule applies.",[13,16,19,22,25],{"q":14,"a":15},"How much vacation do I get part-time?","Vacation days are converted in proportion to your working days: 30 days at a 5-day week become 30 × 3 \u002F 5 = 18 days at 3 working days. That is also 6 weeks off. The number of hours per day does not matter.",{"q":17,"a":18},"How much vacation do I get if I start during the year?","The full entitlement only arises after 6 months (waiting period, § 4 BUrlG). If you start in the second half of the year, i.e. after 1 July, the waiting period is not completed in that year and you get 1\u002F12 per full month. If you start on or before 1 July, you are entitled to the full annual leave by law. Many contracts, however, reduce the extra days above the minimum pro rata; the calculator then shows both values.",{"q":20,"a":21},"What applies if I quit?","If you leave on or before 30 June, you get 1\u002F12 per full month (§ 5 (1) c BUrlG). If you leave after 30 June and were employed for at least 6 months, you are entitled to at least the full statutory leave. Vacation you can no longer take is paid out.",{"q":23,"a":24},"How is it rounded?","Under § 5 (2) BUrlG, fractions of half a day or more are rounded up to a full day. Smaller fractions are not rounded down but remain as an entitlement in hours: 12.5 days become 13, 4.33 days stay 4.33.",{"q":26,"a":27},"How do I plan my vacation best?","Bridge days turn a few vacation days into many days off. Which ones those are in your German state is shown by [[public-holidays]]. The [[date-calculator]] counts working days between two dates.",1793707146613]
