In Germany, departing employees are entitled to claim any unused vacation days owed according to their employment contracts. Under the Federal Leave Act, employees earn a minimum of 20 to 24 vacation days per year depending on their work schedule. Depending on when they leave, the vacation payout varies; resigning before June 30th entitles one to a calculation based on months worked, while leaving later could mean a different accounting of earned leave. Employers must apply these rules to ensure fair treatment.
In Germany, when you leave a job, you are entitled to claim your remaining vacation days, ensuring you receive any time owed according to your contract.
Employees are guaranteed at least 24 vacation days per year on a six-day work week according to the Federal Leave Act, potentially receiving more based on their contracts.
Timing matters: if you resign before June 30th, your vacation payout is calculated differently than if you leave in the second half of the year.
If termination occurs in the first half of the year, you earn one twelfth of vacation for each full month worked, including both legal and additional days.
