What is Annual Leave?

What is annual leave?

Annual leave is the amount of paid time off (PTO) an employee can take from work each year. Employers typically provide it as part of a compensation package, and it can be used for rest and recreation, personal errands, or other activities.

Annual leave is intended to give employees time off to relax and rejuvenate, allowing them to return to work with renewed energy and enthusiasm. Additionally, it plays a significant role in the workplace by helping to prevent burnout, improve productivity, and reduce work-related stress through regular breaks.
