Working hours in Luxembourg are 8 hours per day, or 40 hours per week for a 5-day work week.

Regulation on working hours does not apply to salaried workers working from home, traveling salespeople, sales representatives, and senior management.

Employees shall inform the employer on the first day of sick leave and submit a medical certificate by the third day. Sick leave may last up to 6 months in a reference period of 18 consecutive months.

Employers pay 100% of the employee's salary up to the 77th day of sick leave (whether consecutive or not).

Maternity leave: Luxembourg has strong maternity leave regulations. Mothers are entitled to 20 weeks' maternity leave, 8 weeks before and 12 weeks after birth. Pregnant women and post-pregnancy employees have additional rights.

Paternity leave: By law, the father is entitled to 10 days of paid paternity leave. 

Effective August 2023, employees have been entitled to new types of special leave as follows:

• Five-day caregiver leave, and

• One-day leave for reasons of force majeure.

• Also, the 10 paternity leave has been extended to self-employed workers and same-sex couples

Employees in Luxembourg are entitled to a minimum of 26 working days of paid vacation per year, which doesn't include public holidays.

Entitlement to severance depends on the employee’s length of continuous service with the same employer and ranges between 1 - 12 months of salary.

The length of the notice period depends on the duration of service of the employee: Dismissal of the Employer:

- Less than 5 years = 2 months - Between 5 and 10 years = 4 months; - 10 years and more = 6 months. Resignation of the employee:

- Half of the notice period specified above.

Termination for gross misconduct:

- Possible for both the employee and the employer to terminate with no notice. Payment in lieu of notice is not possible in Luxembourg except when the employee is exempted from work and finds a new job during the notice period.

Employers must notify dismissals to the Social Security Centre (Centre Commun de la Sécurité Sociale).
