Annual leave calculator Uganda
The Employment Act gives you paid annual leave for every four months you work in a calendar year.
Enter the months you have worked to see the days you have earned and what unused days are worth.
How it's calculated
- You earn 7 days of leave with full pay for each period of four months of continuous service. A full year gives three periods.
- The right starts once you have worked 6 months for the employer and normally work 16 hours a week or more.
- When the job ends you are entitled to leave in proportion to the time worked, or to pay instead of it.
An example
After a full calendar year you have earned 21 days. On Ushs 1,000,000 a month and a five-day week, each day is worth about Ushs 46,154.
Frequently asked questions
Can I give up my leave for extra pay?
No. The Act says any agreement to give up the minimum annual leave, for money or otherwise, is null and void. Pay in lieu is only for leave left when the job ends.
Are public holidays part of annual leave?
No. You get every public holiday off with full pay. If you work on one, you get another day off with full pay, unless you were paid at least double for that day.
When do I take my leave?
During the calendar year, at a time you and your employer agree.
Does unused leave count towards my notice period?
No. Outstanding leave on termination is not included in the notice period.
