In Romania, unused vacation days from 2026 must be taken by June 30, 2028, or they will be lost. Employees are entitled to at least 20 vacation days annually, which should ideally be used within the same year. If not taken for justified reasons, employers are required to allow their use within 18 months. However, unused vacation days cannot be compensated financially unless the employment contract ends. Therefore, planning for vacation days is crucial to avoid losing this right.
