Why you should start planning your holiday now:
To ensure operations run smoothly in your absence
If you are a teacher, you automatically get your holiday scheduled after Midsummer because there is a break in our courses. If you want to take time off at another time of the year, it must be coordinated with your manager. But this applies to all employees.
To maintain a good working environment
For everyone to enjoy their long-awaited holiday, you may need to plan ahead with tasks that take up others' time. Good planning provides better conditions for all parties.
For your own recovery
Even if your job is the most fun you know, variation is important for recovery. Relax, meet friends, or do whatever you want. You get something else to look forward to. Planning is half the fun!
It saves money
If you plan your holiday well in advance, you can often find better deals on travel and accommodation.
It's the law
In Sweden, we are legally entitled to a certain number of weeks of holiday. How many depends, among other things, on your age. If you’re not from Sweden, it might be good to know that you must take 20 days off, regardless of your age or how many weeks of holiday you have. Aren't we lucky?!
