The CERN leave year ends on 30 September. If you have not been able to take all your annual leave by then, a maximum of 30 days of annual leave can be carried over to the following leave year. Any days exceeding this 30-day limit will be lost.

If you have any doubts about your rights or procedures to follow, do not hesitate to contact the Staff Association.

While we were surprised, the Staff Association (SA) welcomed the idea.
