Seychelles annual leave calculator 2026

A worker on a continuous or fixed-term contract earns 21 days working days of paid annual leave in a full year. Casual and part-time workers follow separate rules.

If you have worked for less than a year, you earn 1.75 days days for each month and the total is rounded up to the next whole day.

How it's calculated

For a full year of employment the entitlement is 21 days days.
For a part year, multiply the months worked by 1.75 days and round up.
Add any days carried over and take away the days you have used. Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays do not count as leave days.

An example

You joined seven months ago. Seven times 1.75 is 12.25 days, rounded up to 13 days. If you have taken 3 of them, 10 days are left.

Frequently asked questions

Must I take my leave every year?

Your employer must see that you take a block of at least 14 consecutive days in a year, unless you agree to accumulate your leave. Leave not taken may be carried over.

Can leave be paid out in cash?

Yes, if you and your employer agree, the leave of a year may be converted into cash. Above 42 accumulated days, each extra day is paid at one and a half times the normal pay.

What about casual and part-time workers?

A casual worker who has worked 5 consecutive days is entitled to half a day's pay in lieu of leave. A part-time worker gets leave in proportion to the hours worked.

Key terms
