Annual Leave Pay Calculator

How much annual leave is earned

Article 53 of the Labour Act No. 4857 sets minimum periods that run with length of service: not less than fourteen days for one to five years of service inclusive, not less than twenty days for more than five and less than fifteen years, and not less than twenty six days for fifteen years or more. Entitlement arises only once a full year of service has been completed, so no leave is earned for the part of a year left over.

Who receives more than the minimum

Annual paid leave for employees aged eighteen or under and for those aged fifty or over cannot be less than twenty days. For employees working in underground operations each period is increased by four days. These are floors, not ceilings: a contract may grant more leave but cannot reduce it, and the right to leave cannot be waived.
