Annual Vacation: Hired before 31.03.2023? You're in for a treat with 24 annual vacations (available from the start of each year).
Start Date Magic: Your first-year holiday count syncs with your start date. Example: If you start on March 1st, your first 2 days kick in on April 1st.
Probation and Credits: The complete vacation allowance after probation is based on a pro-rata approach using the remaining days in the year rather than a fixed amount.
Probation Example: Picture this – Probation ends on September 1st?(If you start in March) Celebrate with your accrued vacation days from March to December (20 days in total).
Following Year: If probation wraps up the next year, you hit the jackpot with the full annual 24-day allowance.

Vacation allowance
Probation Accruals: In your first six months, you accrue 1/12th of your yearly vacation balance every month, starting a month after your hire date.
First Month Rule: No vacation entitlement in the first month; the magic begins after that.
Post-Probation Freedom: After probation, request your full annual vacation (days accrued from your hire date to year-end).
Maximum Absences Alert: If the hub's max absences are hit, Flink can reject your vacation request, even with 11 days' notice and enough days accrued.
Probation Exit: If you leave during probation, you get your accrued vacation up to your last day – no extra days.
Post-Probation Exit: If leaving post-probation:
Before June 30th: Calculated based on the total annual entitlement, prorated for months worked, minus taken days.
After June 30th: Typically calculated based on the full annual entitlement, minus taken days.
