The latest session of the parliamentary commission on employment only lasted 10 minutes on Tuesday morning, as MPs and the state council remained unanimous.
The Chamber of Deputies’ agenda does not seem to expect complications when it comes to the extra vacation days: the report will be accepted on Thursday and the plenary chamber will vote on the draft bill in the coming weeks.
As a result, the minister has confirmed that Luxembourg’s residents will benefit from the Europe Day bank holiday on 9 May and an additional day off work this year.
The one question that remains to be determined is the additional day off’s formulation in the collective agreement.
If it is written as “statutory leave plus x amount of days”, then most people stand to benefit.
However, if the legislation is more explicit as “25 days leave plus x amount of days”, this will be trickier for some employees.
Luxembourg’s Chamber of Commerce says “No” to two further days off
EXTRA VACATION DAYS: Parliamentary commission to draw up draft bill on vacation days as soon as possible
EXTRA VACATION DAY: Bankers and insurers could get extra day off despite having more than 30 days leave
26TH VACATION DAY AND EUROPE DAY: Legislation on vacation days passed by state council
