We expect many employees to take vacations in July and August, but since there is no ‘freedom fun’ yet, there will be compensation in the fall. We also experienced this phenomenon last year, when the He took a lot of vacation days, especially in the construction, landscaping and mineral sectors, which could not be carried over to the following year.”
