Foire aux questions (Statutory FAQs)
What is the statutory minimum annual leave entitlement in Luxembourg?
Under Article L. 233-4 of the Luxembourg Labor Code (Code du travail), the statutory minimum paid annual leave is 26 working days per year for full-time employees working a standard 5-day week (equivalent to 5.2 working weeks).
How many statutory public holidays (jours feries legaux) are observed in Luxembourg?
Luxembourg officially observes 11 statutory public holidays per year (including National Day on June 23, Europe Day on May 9, Ascension, Pentecost Monday, All Saints, and Christmas). If a public holiday falls on a non-working day (e.g., Sunday), employees are entitled to a compensatory day off within 3 months.
How is daily and hourly compensation calculated for unused leave upon contract termination?
The compensatory leave indemnity (indemnite compensatoire de conge) is calculated based on the employee average gross remuneration: monthly gross wage divided by 173 hours (standard monthly hours for a 40-hour week) multiplied by 8 hours per vacation day, or divided by 21.67 working days.
Do collective bargaining agreements (CCT) provide additional vacation days in Luxembourg?
Yes. Many major collective work agreements (conventions collectives de travail - CCT), such as the banking (ABBL) and construction sectors, grant additional contractual leave days, commonly totaling 28 to 32 working days per year.
Can an employer pay out accrued vacation during an ongoing employment contract?
No. Article L. 233-12 strictly prohibits paying financial compensation in lieu of taking actual vacation days during the duration of the employment relationship, preserving the mandatory health recuperation intent.
