The so-called vacation under the pear tree or holiday allowance is a financial support that an employer may provide to its crew or former employees. However, not every company employed will receive such help. Its payment is guaranteed by the company social benefit fund (Zfśs), which collects money for various social purposes. But not all employers have to create it, and not every employee will get the same amount. The amount of support depends on the employee's life, family or financial situation.
