In order to facilitate the reunification of foreign workers with families in non-EU countries, consistent with technical and organisational requirements, the companies will accept the justified requests of individual workers to take continuous periods of absence from work through the use of holidays and paid leave envisaged by this CCNL, also by summing hours accrued beyond the year in question.
The parties agree on the use of the right to study hours referred to in Article 36 of the CCNL for literacy courses for non-EU workers, without prejudice to the total number of hours referred to in the same provision.
