Abstract

Employer's right to change long period of annual leave designated by employee HEADNOTES Facts The appellant was a journalist employed by the appellee news agency. He belonged to the section concerned with local news, which consisted of 41 journalists. Of these 31 worked outside.

To cover his field, he had acquired professional knowledge and experi- ence regarding science and technology, particularly atomic energy. In July 1980 he proposed taking paid annual leave from 20 August to 20 September, to collect materials on atomic power generation in Europe. At that time he had a right to 40 days of paid annual holiday. Of these he planned to take 24 days during the designated period.
