Blue Book Traineeship programme

Will I have holidays during my traineeship period?

  • Trainees are entitled to 2 days of leave per month. This entitlement is acquired pro rata counting from the first day of the month.
  • Days of leave not taken are not compensated.
  • Days for trips and visits organised either by the Traineeships Officeor by the Trainees Committee and days taken for participation in any competition, exam or university work, etc. are to be deducted from this entitlement.

In all cases, you must inform your adviser when you are not going to be in the office.

The Commission is closed on main public holidays, as well as Christmas and Easter.
