All employees who receive remuneration have the right to a paid leave according to this Act. Each working month entitles one to two days leave. Absence due to sickness or injury is also counted as part of the working period if the employee receives wages for that period. Paid leave shall be taken continuously (at least 14 days) between 2 May and 15 September. If the employee cannot take the leave within this period because of his employer's wishes, the rest of the leave will increase by 25 . In the agricultural sector and in herring fishing, the paid leave can be taken anytime. Employers and employees can settle on other arrangements. The employer shall at least give the employee one month's notice on when to take the leave, after having taken into consideration his requests. If the employee cannot take his leave because of illness, he can get the amount paid. Art. 7 contains provisions on calculation of payments. If the employeer does not pay the leave, the employee can bring a claim to the Ministry of Social Affairs.

Stipulates that labourers who have served continuously for a year with parties engaging in business operations within the same trade are entitled to one month's advance notice of termination of employment. If engaged continuously for three years, the labourer is entitled to two months advance notice and after five years the notice is three months. The Act contains specific provisions concerning calculation of working period. All labourers who are excused from work on account of accident at work, on direct route to or from work or due to occupational diseases caused by it, shall receive payment of wages for daytime work for up to three months in accordance with the tariff under which the party concerned received wages. Labourers engaged continuously for one year shall not forfeit any of their wages for one month. If the labourer has worked three years he shall in addition retain his wages for one month, or for two months after five years work. Repeals Act No. 16 of 1958 with the same title.
