An employer must provide an annual vacation to an employee of at least:

• 2 weeks after each of the first 4 years of employment, and

• 3 weeks after 5 consecutive years of employment

Employers must give employees their annual vacation in one unbroken period no later than 12 months after an employee becomes entitled to it.

If an employee so requests in writing, the employer may provide the vacation in two or more periods

If employment terminates before an employee becomes entitled to a first annual vacation, the employer must pay the employee 4% of the employee’s wages earned during the employment.
