Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, when an employer has decided to grant 10 or more working days of paid leave under the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (3) of Article 39 of the Act on the base date or the first base date, and has decided to newly grant 10 or more working days of paid leave on a specified day within one year from that base date or first base date (hereinafter referred to as the "second base date" in this Article and Article 24-7), the employer may grant, during the fulfillment period (meaning the period beginning on the base date or the first base date and ending on the day on which one year elapses from the second base date; the same applies hereinafter in this Article), the number of days obtained by dividing the number of months in the fulfillment period by 12 and multiplying the result by five, by specifying the time thereof.
前項の規定にかかわらず、使用者が法第三十九条第一項から第三項までの規定による十労働日以上の有給休暇を基準日又は第一基準日に与えることとし、かつ、当該基準日又は第一基準日から一年以内の特定の日（以下この条及び第二十四条の七において「第二基準日」という。）に新たに十労働日以上の有給休暇を与えることとしたときは、履行期間（基準日又は第一基準日を始期として、第二基準日から一年を経過する日を終期とする期間をいう。以下この条において同じ。）の月数を十二で除した数に五を乗じた日数について、当該履行期間中に、その時季を定めることにより与えることができる。
In the case where the period referred to in paragraph (1) or the fulfillment period referred to in the preceding paragraph has elapsed, the first day of each of the periods obtained by dividing the time from the day on which it elapsed into one-year periods (or, when a period of less than one year arises at the end, that period) is deemed to be the base date, and the provisions of the main clause of paragraph (7) of Article 39 of the Act apply.
In the case where an employer has decided to grant, on a day on or before the base date (hereinafter referred to as a "specified day" in this paragraph), a number of days of paid leave under the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (3) of Article 39 of the Act that is less than 10 working days, if there are two or more specified days, the latest of the specified days up to the day on which those numbers of days of less than 10 working days come to 10 or more working days in total is deemed to be the first base date, and the provisions of the preceding three paragraphs apply. In this case, with respect to the number of days of paid leave granted under the provisions of paragraph (5) or (6) of that Article before the day deemed to be the first base date, it is not required to grant that leave by specifying the time thereof.
