Transfer of vacation for an employee is a fairly common situation in the management activities of organizations. The existing Law of the Labor Code contains some important points that should be taken into account by both the employee and the employer.
The right to transfer vacation: what are the reasons for transferring?
Legal awareness is the key to compliance with human rights in accordance with legislative labor standards. And also, will help the employer avoid unlawful accusations by control bodies and labor inspection.
According to Article 124 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, one can distinguish the main reasons why it is allowed to transfer vacation to the next year:
- Fulfillment of orders of state significance on the days of the prescribed vacation - participation in the election commission. The law allows the transfer of unused vacation days.
- Lack of timely payment of vacation payments. And also later informing about the start of vacation - later than in 15 days. The employee’s statement serves as a reason for transferring to another period.
- Physical malaise - testified by the sick leave of the medical institution.
- If the employee is indispensable in the working process of the organization and his excommunication can adversely affect the overall system of establishment of the functions of the enterprise. The employer should not regularly use such a reason as holding circumstances. This option is extremely rare. The employee must give a voluntary consent to transfer vacation for these reasons. It is necessary to spend the right to rest over the next year, no later.

There can be many reasons for transfer - The transfer of vacation is also allowed in a situation in which, instead of leaving for rest, the employee performs labor activity for another employee who is on early leave. Most often, this right is enjoyed by employees who have not reached adulthood or persons who have become guardians, as well as women in the prescription.
- If the employee was sent on a business trip. The employer can send the necessary specialist on a business trip until the end of his leave under appropriate circumstances. In this case, the employee has the right to partial or full transfer of leave for another period.
Who is the transfer of vacation?
There are categories of citizens who, according to the Law of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the transfer of vacation must be carried out without failure.
Such persons include:
- Workers who combine several places of work - if the release of the main and secondary work will have the same dates.
- Women going on maternity leave or care for children. And also men, if their wives are on vacation on the care of the baby.
- Persons who have not reached adulthood.
- Parents who are guardians and caring for a child who do not reach the age of 3 months.

Vacation is laid - Preferential categories of the population: war veterans, Chernobyls, disabled people.
- Husbands or wives of military personnel have the right to use and build their vacation schedule so that the date of their leave coincides with the vacation of the spouses.
- Specialists who have working conditions have increased risks or are associated with toxic materials.
Transfer of vacation at the request of the employee
You should know that the labor legislation of the Russian Federation does not prohibit the employee to postpone the vacation date on his own initiative.
Causes
The main reasons for the transfer of vacation can be divided into two groups:
- Objective reasons - These are those that arose in connection with specific circumstances or incidents in the life of the employee.
- Personal reasons - also arise as a result of dictated circumstances, which, to the proper extent, are not an obstacle to compliance by the employee of the regulations of the main vacation schedule.

All the main good reasons are spelled out in article 124 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. There may also be certain reasons that are stipulated and taken into account in the intra -organizational rules in agreement of the parties. If this or that reason is not fixed in the relevant document or legislation, the employer has the right to refuse the employee to transfer the vacation time.
Thus, it can be argued that not only the fact of the circumstances and the desire of the employee himself, but also his direct relationship with the leadership and the specifics of production activity, affect the positive response of the employee’s request.
Impact on the general vacation schedule
It should be borne in mind that the transfer of vacation pays of one employee will affect the construction of the vacations of other employees of the organization. Therefore, it is necessary to coordinate the deadlines in advance with all involved persons. The employer must comply with the rules for making adjustments to the schedule in accordance with the established norms of the resolution of the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation. For this, relevant documents must be obtained: permission from the employee approved the vacation schedule and the application, as well as the order to shift the schedule.
Dates and date of transfer of vacation
When setting dates and terms of vacation transfer, several main points should be distinguished:
- The permissible number of transfers per year. The Labor Code of the Russian Federation does not limit the number of leave transfers - an employee and employer can use the right to transfer leave several times a year.
- The frequency of vacation. It is forbidden to transfer vacation for the next year. It is necessary to spend a vacation during the current year.

Time - Period. It is allowed to transfer vacation for an unidentified period. This period should not exceed the maximum term - 2 years. The employee is allowed to independently determine the time he wants to use for leave.
In what cases can you get a refusal?
There are options for the development of the situation in which the employee can receive an unremarkable answer to the vacation application:
- If the employee is entitled to leave according to the established schedule, but the management considered that during this period the absence of this specialist may entail the damage of production. The employee may refuse to grant leave by offering an option to transfer for another period in return. For this, the consent of the employee himself is necessary, after which the procedure for preparing the relevant documentation is launched - a personnel order to transfer leave, making adjustments to the vacation schedule. The employer does not have the right to make changes to the schedule without consent and notification if the employee has already managed to go on vacation. In this case, the only legal action will be - the decision to withdraw the employee from the vacation, having received his consent to this and observing the entire procedure for the design of this process. It should also be noted that the employee has the right to go on vacation, according to the labor schedule, even without an affirmative response of the leadership and this will not be considered a violation. But in this case, the employee should know that he may have certain conflicts with the employer, as well as untimely payments of vacation pay, if a vacation application has not been compiled.

Statement - The employer may refuse the employee on vacation if the employee based on his personal needs and considerations, he decided to write an application for the transfer of leave without good grounds. In this situation, the employee is deprived of the rights to arbitrarily appoint a vacation deadline not established by the labor schedule - its absence at the workplace, will be perceived as a violation of the labor charter and may entail dismissal, which is quite legal. The employer has every reason to dismiss such an employee for absenteeism. However, if the employee is in a group of persons who cannot be denied vacation and may submit relevant documents, he has the full right to appeal the employer's decision and restore in the previous position in court. Moreover, the court will oblige the employer to pay money compensation for the forced absence of an employee in the amount of average earnings, as well as pay compensation for moral damage established by the court.
Vacation post
The initial basis for the implementation of the vacation transfer procedure is a statement from the employee with the reasons specified in it.
- The application is drawn up in written arbitrary form in the name of the head of the organization or enterprise. Also, in the application, it is necessary to indicate the date of start of the vacation and its end and the total number of days.
- If there was an extension of the vacation, on certain grounds, and the employee expressed a desire to transfer it for another period - the documents confirming the basis must be attached to the application: sick leave, written confirmation of the employee’s participation in the performance of public debt at the time of vacation.

- If the employer does not fulfill obligations, provide a vacation in a timely manner - in the application for transfer, it is necessary to indicate the transfer motive, without collecting additional documents. Sometimes, in addition to the application, a service note may be drawn up. Based on these documents, an order is issued to transfer vacation to another time. It completes this procedure - recording in the corresponding column of the labor schedule.
