Vacation pay rules in the Baltics
Take the pay for the 3 calendar months before the month of the vacation and divide it by the days actually worked. A quarterly bonus counts in full and annual bonuses count at one quarter, spread over the scheduled working days. Multiply the average daily pay by the working days of the vacation. Vacation pay is paid no later than the last working day before the vacation, unless the employee asks otherwise.
Add up the salary, supplements and bonuses for the last 6 calendar months and divide by the days worked. Multiply the result by the working days in the vacation. Public holidays and transferred days off inside the vacation are not paid as vacation days: the vacation is extended instead. Vacation pay is due at least one day before the vacation, unless the employee asked for it with the next salary.
If the employee received only a fixed salary for the last 6 months, no average is calculated and the salary is kept. With variable pay, divide the pay for the 6 months before the calculation month by the calendar days, minus public holidays and absences, and multiply by the vacation days. Public holidays inside the vacation extend it. Vacation pay is due by the second to last working day before the vacation, or with the next salary if agreed.
20 working days a year for a 5-day working week, or 24 for a 6-day week. Some groups get 25 working days, for example employees under 18, single parents of a child under 14 and people with a disability.
Yes. Vacation pay is taxed like salary: personal income tax and social and health insurance contributions are withheld, and the tax-exempt amount applies.
At least 4 calendar weeks a year, not counting public holidays. Some groups get more, for example employees under 18, and parents of three or more children under 16 or of a disabled child get extra days.
Yes. Vacation pay is taxed like salary: personal income tax and the employee's state social insurance contributions are withheld.
28 calendar days a year. Public holidays that fall within the vacation are not counted, so they extend it. Minors and people with partial or no work ability get 35 calendar days.
Yes. Vacation pay is taxed like salary: income tax and unemployment insurance are withheld, plus the funded pension contribution if the employee has joined the II pillar.
The employer must pay compensation for all unused annual leave, whether the employee resigns or is dismissed. It is calculated from average pay, the same way as vacation pay. Vacation days older than three years are generally lost. While employment continues, vacation days cannot be swapped for money: unused days move to the next year.
The vacation is not extended automatically, so the employee should tell the employer. The remaining days can be added right after the sick leave or taken at another agreed time. If the illness starts before the vacation, the start of the vacation is postponed.
Yes, but at least one part must be no shorter than 10 working days, or 12 for a six-day week. Vacation must be granted at least once in each working year.
Yes. Monthly bonuses paid in the 3 months before the vacation month count in full, a quarterly bonus counts in full, and annual bonuses count at one quarter. You can add them in this calculator under Bonuses and other settings.
The employer must pay compensation for all unused annual leave, whatever the reason the employment ends. Each month of employment earns about 1.68 vacation days, and the compensation uses the same 6-month average pay as vacation pay. While employment continues, vacation days cannot be replaced with money.
The vacation stops for the days covered by a sick leave certificate, and the unused days are taken later. Vacation pay and sick pay are never paid for the same days.
Yes, by agreement, but at least two continuous calendar weeks must be taken in the current year. For work reasons, part of the vacation can be moved to the next year.
Yes. Salary, supplements and bonuses paid in the last 6 months are all included in the average, so a large bonus raises vacation pay. You can add them in this calculator under Bonuses and other settings.
The employer must pay compensation for unused annual leave that has not expired. While employment continues, vacation days cannot be replaced with money and unused days carry over. Annual leave generally expires one year after the end of the calendar year it was earned for.
The employee can interrupt the vacation, but a sick note does not do this automatically: the employer should be told as soon as possible. The unused days can be taken right after recovery or at another agreed time.
Yes, by agreement, but one part must be at least 14 calendar days. The employer prepares a vacation schedule for the year, and vacations in the schedule can only be changed by agreement.
Yes, when pay varies. Bonuses and other variable pay from the 6 months before the calculation month are included, so a large bonus shortly before a vacation raises vacation pay. With a fixed salary only, vacation pay simply equals the salary for the vacation days.
