Annual leave 2026 · Slovak Labour Code

Your leave in days — full year or proportional part

Weeks of leave, whole months in 2026, days worked and what you have taken. You see your entitlement, what is left and the pay in lieu on leaving, and download an Excel file with a leave plan and public holidays.

  1. Plan the rest: the employer must schedule at least four weeks of leave in the year if you are entitled to them (section 111).
  2. Public holidays for 2026 and 2027 are in the Excel file — in 2026, 8 May and 15 September are not days off.
  3. When you leave, check the pay in lieu of untaken leave on your payslip (section 116).

Arithmetic under the Slovak Labour Code: 4, 5 or 8 weeks × 5 days (section 103); 1/12 per whole month with at least 60 days worked (sections 101, 102), otherwise 1/12 per 21 days worked (section 105); no rounding. Reductions and additional leave are not included. Not legal advice.
