How much vacation for a mini-job 1 day per week?

For a mini-job where you work one day per week, you are fundamentally entitled to a statutory minimum leave of four weeks per year according to the Federal Vacation Act. In your case, this means you are entitled to four Vacation days per year.

The law requires that employees working a six-day week receive at least twenty-four weekdays of paid Vacation per year. However, since you work only one day per week, a proportional calculation is made.

The calculation method is relatively straightforward: per year, the minimum leave amounts to four days. This determination is based on the number of days worked per week multiplied by the number of statutory minimum weeks of vacation (4).

If you have a longer tenure with the company or if your employment contract or a company agreement provides for additional Vacation days, you could potentially be entitled to more Vacation days. It is always advisable to review your employment contract or possible company agreements in detail to know your exact Vacation entitlement.

Ultimately, it is legally regulated that everyone is entitled to at least four weeks of Vacation per year, regardless of the number of working days per week. This entitlement also applies to mini-jobbers or part-time employees. Be sure to request your Vacation early and obtain the employer's approval to avoid misunderstandings.

If you are uncertain, you can also consult your works council or the relevant union to clarify your Vacation entitlement.
