IS IT POSSIBLE TO KEEP MONEY FOR UNWORKED VACATION DAYS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT

The employee used annual leave “in advance”. He is now resigning due to his retirement. Can the employer withhold funds from him for unused vacation days?

Answer: no, if the employee is dismissed before the end of the working year for which he has already received a full-time vacation, deductions to cover his debt are not made, if the employee is dismissed due to retirement (Article 22 of the Law of Ukraine “On leave”).
