How it is calculated

Under the Labour Law, an employee who has worked at least a year, probation included, earns paid annual leave and cannot waive it. The employer cannot split it; by agreement it can be split as long as one part is at least 10 days. Whether Saturday counts as leave depends on the contract: under the Court of Cassation 9th Civil Chamber’s decision of 2 March 2021 (2021/897 E., 2021/5272 K.), Saturday is in principle a working day and a Saturday that is merely a contractual day off still counts as leave; if the contract makes Saturday a weekly rest day, it is not counted, like Sunday (Labour Law Art. 56/5). When a national or public holiday ends on Friday evening, the whole following Saturday is a holiday by law (Law 2429 Art. 2/D) and the tool does not count it as leave. An employee spending the leave elsewhere gets up to four days of unpaid travel leave on request. The money value of unused leave is in the annual leave pay calculator. Civil servants’ leave follows Law 657 and differs.

FormulaLeave days = working days within the leave; Back at work = the first working day after the last day of leaveEntitlement (Labour Law Art. 53): 1–5 years (5 included) 14 days, 5–15 years 20 days, 15 years or more 26 days; at least 20 days at age 18 or under and 50 or over; 4 days more for underground work. National holidays, weekly rest days and public holidays inside the leave are not counted (Art. 56); an eve counts as half a day.

Find the service years completed by the start of the leave; the entitlement follows them.
Count days from the start: skip Sundays (and Saturdays if the contract makes them rest days) and public holidays, and count an eve as half.
The day the leave days run out is the last day of leave.
The first working day after it is the return date.

Example

A 5-day leave from Monday 26 October 2026 (Saturdays counted): 26 and 27 October are 2 days, 28 October half a day, 29 October a holiday, 30 and 31 October 2 days (4.5 in all). The last half day is the morning of 2 November; work resumes that afternoon.

Frequently asked questions

How many days of annual leave do I get?

At least 14 days for 1–5 years of service (5 included), 20 for more than 5 and less than 15, and 26 from 15 years. Employees aged 18 or under or 50 or over get at least 20. Contracts may give more.

Do public holidays count against annual leave?

No. National holidays, weekly rest days and public holidays inside the leave are not counted (Art. 56), so the leave runs that much longer. Law 2429 makes only the time from 13:00 on an eve part of the holiday (Art. 2/B), so the tool counts the morning as half a day of leave.

Does Saturday count as a leave day?

Under the Court of Cassation 9th Civil Chamber’s decision 2021/897 E., 2021/5272 K., even with a five-day week Saturday counts as a leave day unless the contract makes it a weekly rest day; if it does, Saturday is not counted. If your contract makes Saturday a weekly rest day, choose “Does not count”.
