Vacation in private and public labor relations

The labor relationship ensures the balance between the employer and the employee. One of the most important parts of labor law is leave, which is partially regulated. The right to work, including the right to leave, is a right guaranteed by Georgian law, international acts and conventions. Following the conclusion of the Association Agreement, Georgia undertook to carry out reforms in accordance with EU law. The paper compares the norms of national legislation with the legislation of the European Union, reviews the legislation of different countries and compares the norms of leave, what is the approach according to the legislation of Georgia in the private and public sectors. All forms of leave based on the essence of the holiday are regulated differently depending on their content. Georgian courts have reviewed a number of precedent cases related to leave, and the Supreme Court has established a uniform practice in this regard. The court uses not only national but also international acts and conventions when hearing a case. In this regard, the court gives a correct interpretation of many flawed norms in the national legislation. The paper will discuss all issues related to vacation, both in national law and in the example of EU countries, and will discuss a number of decisions of the Georgian court.
