Leave Policy in Cambodia

Types of Leave

• Annual Leave: Employees receive 18 days of annual leave for every 12 months of service. One extra day is added for every 3 years of continuous service.
• Sick Leave: Employees are entitled to sick leave with full or partial pay depending on company policy and NSSF (National Social Security Fund) support. A medical certificate is required.
• Maternity Leave: 90 days of maternity leave are granted with 50% pay covered by the NSSF if eligible. Employment cannot be terminated during this period.
• Special Leave: Employees can take 7 days of special leave per year for urgent personal matters. It may be paid or unpaid based on employer discretion.

Unused Leave

Annual leave can be carried forward for up to 3 years. On termination, all unused leave must be paid out. Employers must document leave balances clearly to avoid disputes.

Consequences of Mismanagement

Violations may lead to labor court claims or inspections by the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training. Penalties may include back pay and administrative fines.

Public Holidays

Cambodia has approximately 21 public holidays annually. Employees required to work on these days must be compensated at double the wage or granted a substitute day off.
