Holiday and parental leave

If you wish to use your holiday entitlement while on parental leave, you should be aware of the special terms that apply.

 

Innhold

Holiday postpones parental leave

  • When you take holiday during your parental leave, NAV will stop paying parental benefit and the parental leave period will be extended.
  • Your manager must agree with you taking holiday during your parental leave period and your case handler at the parental leave team (e-mail) must be informed about this before you submit your application to NAV.
  • You will be paid 100% salary during your holiday.
  • The 6 first weeks of parental leave after birth are reserved for the mother and must be taken concurrently. Therefore, it is not possible to postpone parental benefit in order to take holiday during these 6 weeks.

Transfer of holiday

  • If you have parental leave and do not apply for a postponement of parental benefit when taking holiday, your may postpone your holiday to another period in the same holiday year.
  • Up to 14 days of holiday can be transferred to the next holiday year, see regulations for transfer of holiday. Note that the upper limit of 14 days also applies if you have been on parental leave.
