Individual agreement to waive holiday pay in favour of three days off
Pursuant to Chapter 5, Section 18 of the General Terms and Conditions Agreement/General Terms and Conditions Agreement-T, Lund University and the Employee hereby enter into an individual agreement whereby the Employee waives the entitlement to the holiday supplement in exchange for three (3) additional days of leave. Such days shall not be deemed to constitute annual leave.
For Employees whose working hours are regulated under Appendix 5 to the General Terms and Conditions Agreement/General Terms and Conditions Agreement-T, this agreement corresponds to twenty-four (24) hours in relation to the annual working time.
The conversion applies solely to the portion of the holiday supplement referred to in Chapter 5, Section 14, second paragraph, first indent. Accordingly, any holiday supplement based on variable pay supplements shall be excluded from this conversion.
_________________
For an individual agreement regarding conversation to be concluded, the relevant department, together with the Employee, must ensure that the following criteria are met, as confirmed by ticking the boxes below.
- The Employer assesses that, for operational reasons, it is feasible to schedule such leave during the holiday year to which the conversion applies.
- The Employee has no more than five (5) saved annual leave days at the beginning of the holiday year to which the conversion applies.
- The Employee has no planned extended absence during the holiday year to which the conversion applies.
- The Employee does not have any other individual agreement regarding the conversion of annual leave days.
In the case of a fixed-term employment, also ensure that:
- The fixed-term employment extends throughout the entire holiday year to which the conversion applies.
_________________
How the scheduling and use of the three additional days off shall be arranged:
- The three additional days off must be taken during the holiday year to which the conversion applies and may not be carried over to the following year.
- These days may only be taken after all annual leave days for the current year have been used.
- The Employee’s request regarding the scheduling of these days shall be accommodated provided it is compatible with operational requirements.
_________________
In the event that the conditions change during the holiday year:
- If, for special reasons, it is not possible for the Employee to take one or more of the additional days off, a payment shall be made corresponding to 4.6 per cent of the fixed salary per day not taken as leave.
- This agreement remains valid even if the Employee has a continuous absence of up to one (1) month during the year.
- In the event of a continuous absence exceeding one (1) month, this agreement shall cease to apply, and an adjustment shall be made by converting the days back to the holiday supplement; alternatively, a salary debt may arise.
- If the Employee terminates employment before the end of the holiday year, this agreement shall cease to apply. An adjustment shall be made for the leave taken in proportion to the period of employment qualifying for holiday entitlement. If the Employee has taken more days off than correspond to the qualifying period, repayment to the Employer shall be required.
- If the Employee has not taken the additional days off in proportion to the qualifying period, a payment of the accrued holiday supplement shall be made.
