[ff-all] Bank Holidays and vacation at FIWARE Foundation

[Ulrich Ahle]

Dear colleagues,

as there are some uncertainties with some of you how to handle bank
holidays and also vacation let me please inform you again about the way we
are handling this within the FIWARE Foundation from the very beginning.
Some of you googled and found that Nov. 1st would be a bank holiday in
Germany. This is not true for Berlin and some other regions in Germany.
Relevant for us are the bank holidays in Berlin.


   1.
*Bank Holidays *

   For all of us having the statement 'The place of assignment is Berlin'
   in your contract (normally §2) the Berlin bank holidays apply.
   This are these holidays for Berlin in 2022:

   But we are flexible to switch the day according to your place of living
   if you would like to and if work allows and it is agreed with your superior
   in writing before (email is sufficient). As e.g. Oct. 3rd is not a bank
   holiday in Spain or Italy you may switch it to Nov 1st which again is not a
   bank holiday in Berlin.
   I've so far decided for myself to stick to the bank holidays in Berlin.
   Taking Nov. 1st: it is not a public holiday in Berlin but in other parts of
   Germany. e.g. I do live close to Paderborn where Nov. 1st is a bank holiday
   but my contract says my place of assignment is Berlin. Therefore I will
   work the full day next Tuesday even going to Berlin.
   The max. amount of bank holidays is the one shown in the list above.

   2. *Vacation / annual leave*
   This is described in §6 of your contract. Vacation is granted for the
   given year. If you are not able to consume the vacation during the given
   year it can by exception be taken until end of March of the following year.
   Days of vacation of a given year which are not taken by end of March of the
   following year will be cancelled. Exceptions need to be agreed and approved
   in writing before end of March.
   Taking vacation needs to be agreed before with the superior in writing
   using the form provided by us. This need to be signed by both (employee and
   superior) and provided to Andrea for accounting.

   I hope this clarifies your questions. If there should still be any
   questions please don't hesitate to contact me in my HR role directly
   copying your superior. There is no need to copy all.

Best Regards

Ulrich Ahle
