Paid and Unpaid Leave in the National Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL)
Article 19 of the National Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL) addresses the issue of leave for workers, guaranteeing fundamental rights in various situations. Employees are entitled to paid individual leave for medical visits, renewal of residence permits, and family reunification processes, even if these partially coincide with working hours. The amount of hours varies based on cohabitation and weekly working hours.
Additionally, there is a provision for unpaid leave by mutual agreement. A worker who is faced with a proven misfortune affecting cohabiting family members or relatives up to the 2nd degree is entitled to a paid leave of 3 working days.
Paid leave and optional leave are also recognized for the working father in the event of the birth of a child, in accordance with current legislation. The CCNL provides for the granting of short-term unpaid leave for justified reasons, while specifying that in the case of unpaid leave, no substitute allowance for food and lodging is owed. Article 19 represents comprehensive protection of workers' rights in specific situations.
