Government proposes abolishing the job alternation leave system
The government has submitted a proposal to Parliament to abolish the job alternation leave system. According to the proposal, the job alternation leave system would be abolished on August 1, 2024. The change would not affect ongoing job alternation leaves.
Job alternation leave could be taken under current conditions if the leave begins no later than July 31, 2024. Individuals who have commenced their leave before this date would have the right to take job alternation leave for a maximum of 180 calendar days.
Job alternation leave would be considered commenced by July 31, 2024, if the alternation leave agreement has been submitted to the TE Office no later than July 31, 2024, and the substitute’s employment contract begins no later than July 31, 2024.
Please note that these legislative changes are not yet in force. We will provide more information on the matter as we receive new information on the progress of the proposed amendments.
