Under Article 39 of the Lebanese Labor Code, every employee who has completed one full year of service with an employer is entitled to an annual paid leave of fifteen (15) working days with full pay.
How is daily leave pay calculated under Lebanese labor practice?
For monthly salaried employees, the daily wage rate for leave encashment is derived by dividing the total monthly gross salary (basic salary plus regular allowances) by 26 working days (or 30 calendar days depending on company policy).
Is an employee entitled to encash unused annual leave upon termination?
Yes. Upon resignation or termination of the employment contract, the employee is entitled to receive monetary compensation in full for all accumulated, unutilized annual leave days accrued during their service.
Can an employer force an employee to forfeit unused annual leave?
No. The right to annual leave is a mandatory public order rule under the Lebanese Labor Code. While employers schedule leaves according to operational needs, unutilized days cannot be confiscated without compensation.
How is pro-rata annual leave computed for partial years of service?
Employees working for a fraction of a calendar year earn annual leave on a pro-rata basis: (Completed Months / 12) × 15 working days. For example, 6 months of continuous service yields 7.5 working days of paid leave.
