What is the maximum number of unpaid leave days for civil servants?
According to Article 13 of the Law on Public Employees 2010, regulations on the rights of public employees regarding rest, specifically:
- Entitled to annual leave, public holidays, and personal leave in accordance with labor laws. If due to work requirements, public employees do not use or use up all their annual leave days, they are entitled to a monetary payment for the unused days.
- Public employees working in mountainous areas, border regions, islands, remote areas, or other special cases, if requested, may combine their leave days for two years to take leave at once; if combining leave days for three years to take leave at once, they must obtain approval from the head of the public service provider.
- For specific professional fields, public employees are entitled to leave and receive salary per the provisions of the law.
- Entitled to unpaid leave in cases of justifiable reasons and with the consent of the head of the public service provider.
Thus, based on the above regulations, public employees are entitled to unpaid leave in justified cases and with the consent of the head of management.
Since you have not provided a specific reason, you should contact the Principal to discuss your issue. The law does not specify the number of unpaid leave days; thus, the number of leave days will depend on negotiation and the Principal's approval.
Sincerely!
