How kasmetinės atostogos in Lithuania is calculated
Article 126(2): employees get *"ne mažiau kaip dvidešimt darbo dienų (jeigu dirbama penkias darbo dienas per savaitę) arba ne mažiau kaip dvidešimt keturių darbo dienų (jeigu dirbama šešias darbo dienas per savaitę)"* — **20 or 24 working days**, which is four weeks either way. For any other weekly pattern the minimum is stated directly as four weeks.
**Five weeks for the protected group.** Workers under 18, single parents raising a child under 14 or a disabled child under 18, and workers with disabilities get **25 (30) working days** (art. 126(3)). Public holidays inside the leave are not counted (art. 126(4)).
Extended leave for especially demanding work and extra days for long uninterrupted service with the same employer are set by Government resolution (art. 138) rather than by the Code, so this page does not model them.

| Days Entitled ✓ pinned | 20 |

Every computed row comes from the engine, run on the inputs above. Rows marked ✓ pinned are also fixed by a published self-test, so a change to the model that moved them would fail its own tests.
