How is paid time off (PTO) calculated in Luxembourg?

In Luxembourg, paid time off (PTO) is calculated in the following manner:

• If applicable, the proration formula is calculated as 26 (basic holiday balance) divided by 12, multiplied by the number of months worked.
• Leave accrual typically happens on a monthly basis, at a rate of 2.17 days per month.
• Days taken as unpaid leave do not contribute to leave accrual.
• Annual leave is based on 1/12th for each full month of work.

• For part-time employees, holiday entitlement is calculated on a pro-rata basis relative to their working hours.
