According to the Labor Code, in addition to the basic leave, employees belonging to certain categories are granted additional leave, taking into account working conditions, the nature of labor functions, length of service, as well as family status.
elchi reports that the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population has released information regarding this matter.
Thus, employees working in hazardous and arduous conditions, those engaged in underground work, as well as those whose labor functions require high sensitivity, anxiety, mental and physical strain, are provided with additional leave of no less than six calendar days.

Fathers raising children alone, as well as persons who have adopted children, can also exercise this right.
