In taking up office for the first time, the worker or employee may use his/her
paid annual leave after at least 8 months of work (art. 155,
para. 2 of LC). At termination of the employment relationship before acquiring 8 months
of work experience, the worker or employee shall be entitled to compensation
for unused paid annual leave (art. 155, para. 3 of
LC and art. 224 of LC). The duration of the basic annual paid leave shall be no less than 20
working days (art.
155, para. 4 of LC). Some categories of employees, depending on the specific nature of the work,
shall be entitled to an extended annual paid leave. The categories of workers
and employees and the minimum duration of such leave shall be specified by the
Council of Ministers (art. 155, para. 5 of
LC). Under specific
circumstances, the worker or employee shall be entitled to additional annual
paid leave (art.
156, para. 1 and 2 of LC).
The annual paid leave shall be
permitted to the employee all at once or in parts (art. 172 of
LC). The paid annual leave shall
be used by the worker or employee with a written permit by the employer (art. 173 of
LC). In the event
that during the use of the annual paid leave the employee is granted another
type of paid or unpaid leave, upon his/her request the
use of the annual paid leave shall be interrupted and the remainder shall be
used later by agreement between him/her and the
employer (art. 175 of
LC). Using the paid annual leave
may be postponed for the following calendar year (art. 176 of
LC). In those cases where the
paid annual leave or a part thereof has not been used within two years from the
end of the year it refers to, regardless of the reasons for that, the entitlement
to it lapses (art.
176a of LC). For the time of the annual paid leave, the employer shall pay the
employee a remuneration calculated from the average daily gross remuneration
accrued by the same employer for the last calendar month preceding the use of
the leave, during which the employee has worked for at least 10 days (art. 177 of
LC). It shall be prohibited to
compensate for the annual paid leave in cash, except at the termination of the
employment relationship (art. 178 of LC).
