Each IOCB employee (full-time or part-time) is eligible to take up to 4 days of personal leave per calendar year, which enable absence with leave from work in case of a short-term health indisposition without applying for medical leave or annual leave.

Personal leave days are not subject to approval. Employee has to inform his/her group leader promptly by phone or by e-mail that he/she is taking a personal leave day. Personal leave days are recorded in OKBase system similarly to annual leave or business trips. Each personal leave day needs to be entered into OKBase upon return to work.

Personal leave days are not transferable to the following year and no financial compensation can be claimed for unused personal leave days either.
