Cash compensation for unused work leave shall be paid to the employee upon dismissal for any reason. The reason for the termination of the employment contract does not matter: whether it is an agreement of the parties, the employee’s own desire, the employer’s initiative or the expiration of the employment contract.

Special attention was paid to situations when an employee for any reason did not rest for several years. If at the time of dismissal the employee has unused leave for previous working years, monetary compensation shall be paid for all these periods in total.

In addition, the department recalled the timing of the calculation. Payment of compensation for unused leave must be made not later than the day of dismissal of the employee.
