Spotlight On Employee Leave Entitlements In EMEA

Managing multi-country payroll can be made more complex by specific employee leave entitlements that must be adhered to. In some European nations public holidays must be paid, and can range from 14 days in Malta to 12 in Russia and just two in Norway. Germany has certain official paid public holidays, and different German states then have their own set paid holidays, so company payroll functions must account for regional variations within the country. In the Netherlands, public holidays that fall on a weekend are not transferred to the next working day.
