Hi All
I was wondering if anyone would be able to point me in the direction of a useful resource to understand the carryover rules in international locations. We currently operate a fairly standard 5 day carryover limit but have recently found out that this isn't possible in one of our locations (Switzerland).
Without HR representation in many of our locations I was wondering if anyone has found a useful way of validating the rules. There seems to be plenty of information on leave entitlement but less on carryover.
Many thanks
Iain

Morning Iain
OK this is an interesting one and I've done some research see attached

So even though Switzerland is not in the European Union as part of the agreements in order for it to trade with Europe it is part of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) which as part of this deal means it is required to comply with EU it would have to comply with most EU legislation, including all existing and future EU employment law. So if you extend this logic then it would have to comply with some of the case law rulings from the CJEU re holiday carry over? I have included a couple of these below?
