Holidays

Workers in Pakistan recognize 14 paid public holidays.

Vacation

After one year of service, Workers are entitled to 14 days of annual leave. Employers can decide whether unused annual leave may be carried over from year to year. Accrued but unused leave does have to be paid at the end of employment.

Sick Leave

There are no federal laws that require employers to provide sick days to employees. However, in recent years, an increasing number of states and cities have passed paid sick leave laws to protect employees.
