Sick leave rules vary widely across Central and Eastern Europe, creating real challenges for employers operating in multiple jurisdictions. Understanding who is entitled to what — and when — is essential for ensuring smooth HR management and legal compliance.
To support businesses working regionally, we have released our CEE Comparative Guide on the Regulations on Sick Leave and Its Impact on Employers and Employees.
The guide provides concise, practical overviews of the key rules in:
Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, and Romania.
It highlights major similarities and differences across these markets, helping employers, HR teams, and legal advisors make informed decisions and maintain consistency in their sick leave practices.
