How the calculation works

  1. 1 Vacation accrues every month: the monthly accrual is the annual total divided by 12.
  2. 2 For each month in the period: a full month counts 1; a part-month of more than 15 days counts 1 if the rule is on, otherwise pro rata by days.
  3. 3 Remaining vacation = carryover + vacation accrued − vacation taken.

Frequently asked questions

How much vacation does Italian law require?

At least four weeks of paid vacation a year (Legislative Decree 66/2003, art. 10). The collective agreement can grant more.

Can vacation be paid out instead of taken?

Not the statutory minimum: it can only be paid out when employment ends.

By when must it be taken?

At least two weeks in the year it accrues, the other two within 18 months after the end of that year.
