The shift holiday provision includes the following points:
- The weekly supplement pursuant to § 21a BUAG is increased by 2.80 in the case of shift work.
- One additional working day of leave is earned for every 8 shift-work weeks within a leave year. This day of leave can be claimed during the calendar year after the reporting data have been submitted to BUAK.
- The employee earns 693.43/1000 of the supplements paid in the qualifying period as an entitlement (§ 3a (1) BUAG).).
The shift holiday supplement is calculated as follows (since 1 January 2014):
