The status of untaken annual leave in case of resignation and termination
If the worker is dismissed or he resigns, is he entitled to a salary for any annual leave he did not use?
It is unclear whether the basic salary only is included or the allowance. It remains arbitrary and so many disputes raised about this subject.
Is there anything solid I can use to claim the full salary for the untaken annual leave in case of termination?
Thank you!
Article 79, Federal Law No. (8) of 1980 Concerning the Regulation of Labor Relations:
The employee is entitled to receive cash in lieu of annual leave days not availed by him, if he was dismissed or if he left the service, after the period of notice stipulated by law. Cash in lieu of leave is calculated on the basis of pay received by the employee at the time of maturity of such leave.
