How is annual leave accrued during parental leave?
According to the law, annual holiday is earned normally for a maximum of 160 weekdays, or around six months, during maternity, paternity, pregnancy and parental leave.
In the family leave reform 2022, paternity leave as such was abolished and replaced by a new parental leave (160 weekdays), during which annual holiday is accrued normally for the parent who does not receive pregnancy allowance.
The rule of 160 weekdays is personal, and each parent receives their own period of 160 weekdays. When calculating weekdays, non-holiday Saturdays are included and the 160 weekday rule is calculated per child and not according to the year in which the holiday is accrued. If the 160 weekdays are exceeded, annual holiday will no longer accrue for the exceeded period.
