What approach do experts recommend for holiday entitlement, public holidays and absence management before accepting a contract?

For holiday entitlement, public holidays and absence management before accepting a contract, a structured absence model with clear separation of minimum and additional entitlements is the most robust approach. Decision criterion: fewer enquiries and fewer misinterpretations regarding holiday and absence rules over at least two review cycles. Specifically: define holiday as a core field in the portal; capture minimum and additional holiday separately. (Sources: Destatis Labour Market, BA Beschaeftigung Statistik)
