How unused leave compensation is calculated
At the end of the contract, unused holiday days are compensated in cash (art. 144, 146 Labour Code). The formula: remaining days × the average daily indemnity, where the daily indemnity is derived from the 3-month average of pay (base salary + permanent bonuses), divided by the working days.
What counts in the base
The base includes the base salary and permanent bonuses. It does not include occasional bonuses, irregular premiums or meal vouchers. Confusing permanent and occasional elements is the most common source of error.
