Zilele de concediu neefectuate nu se pierd automat după 18 luni. Decizia ÎCCJ care îi vizează pe angajații români - WOWbiz.ro

The Romanian High Court clarified that unused vacation days do not automatically expire after 18 months. Employees can claim financial compensation for these days if they were not given a real opportunity to take their leave. The ruling emphasizes that the three-year prescription period for claiming these rights starts from the end of employment, not from the 18-month expiration. This decision is particularly relevant for prison police officers, as their situation can be assessed under labor law. Each case must be evaluated individually, considering whether the employer allowed the employee to take their leave.
