Court of Cassation Ruling on Annual Leave Calculation

The 9th Civil Chamber of the Court of Cassation has ruled on an appeal in the interest of law regarding a dispute over annual leave entitlements. The core of the dispute concerned whether weekends (weekly rest days) falling within the annual leave period should be excluded from the leave duration and the resulting claim for 4 days of unpaid leave. Referencing Article 56/5 of Labor Law No. 4857, the Court clarified that public holidays and weekly rest days cannot be counted as part of the annual leave. Consequently, the local court's decision was overturned in the interest of law, confirming the worker's entitlement to the unpaid 4-day leave.
