Work leave vs paid holiday in the Czech Republic
Statutory work leave with pay is separate from vacation days in the Czech Republic. Employees receive 21 work days holiday entitlement total, and also get paid work leave for life circumstances and national holidays.
How many paid holidays do I get in the Czech Republic?
As of January 1st, paid holiday entitlement in the Czech Republic is now in hours instead of days. A typical holiday allowance for employees working under an employment contract is approximately 4 weeks annually. Holiday entitlements may be longer if the employee and employer make a collective agreement. For certain groups of workers (public administration, autonomous public bodies, contributory organizations), there is a 5-week paid holiday entitlement. Other groups (teachers and academic staff) receive 8 weeks.
What are the conditions to receive paid holidays?
Employees receive a holiday allowance after working for at least 60 days. However, if the employee performs for a shorter time, they can take 1/12 of the total annual leave entitlement. Holiday periods are determined by agreement between the employer and the employee (or trade union). Every employee can take at least two consecutive weeks of paid holiday.
