Q. I have been working as a foreman with a construction company here since 2005. My application for annual leave has always been denied.
“When I enquired, I was told that work circumstances did not permit any leave. Is this legally right?

Two days for every month if the employee's service is more than six months and less than a year; and
Two days and a half for every month if the employee's service exceeds one year.
In case of termination of service, the employee shall be entitled to an annual leave for the fractions of the previous year.
