Vacation pay is based on the average daily wage: the average salary of the preceding 12 months is divided by 21 (5-day work week) or 25 (6-day) and multiplied by the number of vacation days (RA Labour Code, articles 169 and 195). The divisors are fixed by law and do not depend on the month's actual working days.
The average includes base pay, supplements and bonuses. If it is below the minimum wage of ֏75,000, the minimum wage is used instead (article 195, part 7). The minimum annual leave is 20 working days for a 5-day week and 24 for a 6-day week (article 159).
Example: with a ֏500,000 average salary and 10 vacation days, the average daily wage is ֏23,810, gross vacation pay is ֏238,095, and the net amount after taxes is about ֏172,771.
Vacation pay carries the same withholdings as salary: income tax, the social payment, the health-insurance contribution and the stamp duty. It must be paid no later than 3 days before the leave starts (article 169, part 2).
