Can an employee who is transferred to another company claim unused vacation days after the transfer?

Share

For example, when transferring to another company, an employee may claim unused vacation days, but this depends on the terms of his or her dismissal and transfer.


When an employee is transferred to a new job, a new employment contract is concluded and, as a rule, the employment contract with the previous employer is terminated.


In this case:


1. Payment of compensation: The previous employer must pay the employee monetary compensation for all unused days of annual basic and additional vacation.

2. Transitional conditions: If there is an agreement between the previous and new employers on the transfer of vacation leave, the new employer can credit unused vacation days to the new agreement.


However, if there is no such agreement, the employee must be reimbursed by his or her previous employer, and these days will not be transferred to the new job.
