Part of the premises, as directed by the commandant, was cleaned before the start, and the rest at the end of the organization’s working day. Two years later, Yakovleva applied for annual leave. The director of the organization refused to give Yakovleva leave, referring to the fact that she works under a contract. An employment contract was not concluded with her and an order for employment was not issued, so she does not have the right to leave.
