Resting period and leave allowance

Za vrijeme rada dolazi do umora, koji se manifestira u smanjenju funkcionalnih sposobnosti radnika za obavljanje rada na siguran način. Obzirom na tu činjenicu zakonodavac je temeljem Zakona o radu propisao vrste odmora i dopusta koje radnik ima pravo koristiti uz određene uvjete i pod određenim okolnostima. Odmore, s obzirom na razdoblja njihova korištenja možemo podijeliti na: odmor unutar jednog radnog dana (stanka), odmor između dvaju radnih dana (dnevni odmor), odmor nakon određenog broja dana provedenih na radu (tjedni odmor) i odmor nakon određenog broja mjeseci provedenih na radu (godišnji odmor). Pored navedenoga, zakonodavac je propisao i pravo tj. mogućnost radnika da se koristi plaćenim i neplaćenim dopustom.
