First time all together on summer vacation
Print version2001-07-05
For the first time the majority of "Baltija" Shipbuilding Yard JSC personnel went on vacation from the 9th of July. The decision for simultaneous vacation was made on the 16th of November 2000 on yard's personnel conference. Since 2001 all personnel except part of yard's repair and maintenance as well as security services will be off for 21 days beginning from the second Monday of July annually.
The rest part of vacation (one week) could be taken at once or later on if accepted by direct chiefs.
The prototype for simultaneous vacation has been taken from Odense Steel Shipyard Ltd., Denmark experience, where such practice exists for almost decade.
If in Denmark as well as in other Western Europe countries many factories and organizations are closed in summer, due to vacation period for all personnel, in Lithuania such practice has just started its implementation.
