That's S20(4) of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act.

Good day,

According to the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (hereafter BCEA), an employee is entitled to at least 21 consecutive days' annual leave on full remuneration in respect of each annual leave cycle. This roughly translates to 3 weeks paid leave. Furthermore, annual leave must be granted no later than 6 months after the annual leave cycle. To this I refer you to S20(1) and S20(2)(a) of the BCEA.

Furthermore, it has to be noted that the BCEA seems to afford the employer the discretion to determine when leave may be granted (S20(5) of the BCEA), nevertheless the employer must grant the annual leave no later than 6 months after the end of the annual leave cycle in terms of S20(4) of the BCEA.

For further information I would advise that you consult an attorney.
