Navigating the timing of accrued holiday pay
24.03.2026
In most cases, payment in lieu of untaken holiday will be made alongside the final salary for the last month of employment. The exception set out in paragraph 5 applies in practice only to situations where the company pays the monthly salary on a date other than the last day of the month (e.g. 28th or 29th). In such instances, it will be necessary to process the transfer on a date other than the standard payday; however, under the new provisions, the employer may wait up to 10 days from the termination of the employment contract. Consequently, companies have benefited from this regulatory change. – Michał Włodarczyk comments to Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.
