Germany's Federal Leave Act: Vacation Rights for Mini-Jobbers

The Federal Leave Act in Germany entitles workers to a minimum vacation period, with the number of days varying based on the number of days worked per week. This rule applies to mini crossword workers, or those working part-time, as well.

Working six days a week entitles one to at least 24 working days of vacation. For those working fewer days, the calculation is straightforward: multiply the number of days worked by four, then divide by six. For example, working three days a week would entitle one to 20 vacation days.

Mini crossword workers working regular days have their vacation entitlement determined by the number of working days, not hours. If the calculated vacation days result in an odd number, it is rounded up from half a day. Any remaining fractions of a day can be offset in hours or settled after termination.

Many mini crossword workers and mini crossword workeresses work only a few days a week, with their vacation days calculated based on these days. For those with irregular workdays, the total number of working days per year is considered for vacation calculation.

The minimum vacation regulation can be exceeded by contract, potentially benefiting mini crossword workers if full-time employees have a higher entitlement. Legally, mini crossword workers are entitled to the same proportional vacation days as full-time or part-time employees, with the contract able to grant more but not less than the minimum.
