LEGAL VALIDITY OF ADVANCE ANNUAL LEAVE PRACTICE
Annual paid leave is a right to rest, that is granted to employees who have worked in a workplace for at least 1 year and this right takes its source from the Constitution. If the employee has a service in the workplace from one year to five years (including five years), the annual leave period cannot be less than 14 days. If the employee has more than five years and less than fifteen years of service it cannot be less than 20 days. If the employee has fifteen years or more of service it cannot be less than 26 days. These periods are increased by four days for employees who is working in underground works. There is a special regulation on annual leave periods for certain age groups. The duration of annual paid leave to be granted to employees aged eighteen and younger and employees aged fifty and over, cannot be less than twenty days. However, sometimes employees may apply to their employers to use their annual leave in advance before they complete one year and are entitled to leave. Advance annual leave application is not included in the law. However, in practice, some employers take the initiative and allow their personnel to use this leave. Since this can be interpreted as a situation in favor of the employee, it will be considered valid even if it is not included in the law.
