Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) • Annual Leave in Chad

What is the legal baseline for annual paid leave in Chad?

Under Article 124 of the Labor Code, workers accrue paid annual leave at the rate of 2 working days per month of service, establishing a standard statutory entitlement of 24 working days (4 full weeks) per year.

How do seniority bonuses increase annual leave entitlement in Chad?

Seniority adds extra paid days: +2 working days after 5 years, +4 days after 10 years, and +6 days after 15 years, reaching up to 30 working days per year for long-serving employees.

How is vacation pay (Indemnite de conges payes) calculated in Chad?

Vacation pay is calculated using the 1/12th rule: it equals at least 1/12th of the total gross earnings received during the reference period, ensuring the employee receives compensation proportional to total accumulated pay.

Can an employer replace paid leave with a cash payment during an ongoing contract?

No. Taking actual physical rest is an imperative statutory right. Cash compensation is legally prohibited during active employment and is only permitted upon final termination of the employment contract.

Any unused accumulated vacation days must be paid out in full compensatory vacation allowance (Indemnite compensatrice de conges payes) on the employee's final settlement certificate (Solde de tout compte).
