The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection is preparing a regulatory act which will set out the mechanism for calculating holiday pay in light of this change. The Ministry states that proposals may be submitted to it until 30 October 2026.
As a reminder, the duration of annual paid leave is set out in the Labour Code. Currently, under Article 113 of the Labour Code, it amounts to at least 28 calendar days, excluding non-working public holidays.
From next year, if the amendments to the Labour Code proposed this summer are finally approved, public holidays will not be included in annual leave.
Previously, as reported by Logos Press, the Minister of Labour and Social Protection, Natalia Plugaru, assured that changes to the method of calculating annual paid leave would not lead to a reduction in the number of days off or the amount of holiday pay.
She clarified that the amount of holiday pay would not be reduced, and that holiday entitlement accrued before the new rules come into force would be retained. The same applies to additional leave granted to certain categories of workers.
It should be noted that the decree on the calculation of holiday pay will come into force no earlier than the date on which the new version of Article 113 of the Labour Code comes into effect.
