❓ Frequently Asked Statutory Questions (FAQ)
What is the statutory annual leave entitlement under the Liberia Decent Work Act 2015?
Under Section 4.1 of the Decent Work Act 2015, paid annual leave is granted according to length of continuous service: two (2) weeks for 1 to 3 years of service; three (3) weeks for 3 to 5 years of service; and four (4) weeks for employees with more than 5 years of service.
How is daily leave pay calculated for monthly salaried workers in Liberia?
In standard Liberian commercial practice, the daily leave pay rate is derived by dividing the employee’s regular monthly gross remuneration by 26 working days (or 22 days for a 5-day work week).
Can unused annual leave days be encashed during active employment in Liberia?
No. The Decent Work Act strictly prohibits employers from substituting cash compensation for active annual leave to guarantee mandatory worker rest; encashment is legally permitted only upon contract termination.
How is pro-rata annual leave calculated for partial years of service?
Employees working for less than a full year earn pro-rata annual leave based on completed months of service: (Completed Months / 12) × Entitled Annual Leave Days.
Are public holidays included as part of annual leave in Liberia?
No. Official statutory public holidays (such as Independence Day, National Flag Day, Thanksgiving) falling within an employee’s vacation period are not counted as annual leave days.
