Hire Workers in Luxembourg

In Luxembourg, Workers recognize 11 paid public holidays. Workers are entitled to double pay for work performed on public holidays. There may be other premiums applicable for Sunday holiday work or overtime holiday work.

Workers are required to inform employers about an illness on the first day of absence and submit a medical certificate by the third day at the latest. Employers must pay the Workers’ full salary from the date a Worker reports an illness to the end of the month during which the 77th day of illness occurs (whether consecutive or not) over an 18-month period. Up to 80% of the renumeration is reimbursable by the employer’s mutual scheme insurance. From the 77th day forward, a Worker is paid for leave via the Caisse Nationale de Sante up to 78 weeks over a 104-week period. The employment agreement automatically ends after 78 weeks of sick leave over a 104-week period.

Overtime is considered any hours worked in excess of a regular workweek. In no case should work exceed 10 hours per day or 48 hours per week. Overtime entitles Workers to paid time off or pay increases. Work on Sunday is generally prohibited.
