Ai zile de concediu rămase? În ce situații le poți pierde și când trebuie plătite de angajator

A recent ruling by the High Court of Cassation and Justice clarifies the conditions under which unused vacation days can be forfeited or compensated. Employers must demonstrate they provided a real opportunity for employees to take leave. If an employee cannot take their vacation for justified reasons, the remaining days must be granted within 18 months. After this period, unused leave can only be compensated financially upon termination of employment. If the employer did not offer a genuine chance to take leave, unused days must be paid out. The ruling emphasizes the need for clear internal policies regarding vacation scheduling and the responsibilities of both employers and employees.
