What are the annual leave entitlements for employees in Latvia?
Annual Leave Entitlement
Employees are entitled to a minimum of 4 calendar weeks of annual leave after working continuously for at least six months.
The full number of leave days accrues only after completing this six-month period.
Annual leave is calculated based on calendar weeks, not just working days.
Leave Usage Requirements
Employees must take at least 2 continuous calendar weeks of annual leave without interruption.
This requirement helps ensure employees receive adequate rest.
