Abstract

Exactly 10 years ago the Bulgarian legislator reverted to a decision knownin the wording of the Labor Code until 1993: the right to use annual paid leave should be extinguished after a certain period of time in which it was not effectively exercised. The reasons for the amendments were generally limited to the need to preserve and restore the working capacity of employees and to ensure that the holidays are actually used. The dynamics of the regime created in the last years and the constant practical difficulties provoked by it make it very doubtful to achieve such a goal. The purpose of the study is to trace some of the changes related to the use of paid annual leave and to answer the question of whether the interests of the employees are now more protected than they were before.
