Italy Statutory Leave - Ferie Rule Pack
Italian annual paid leave (ferie) for the Odoo Time Off engine - 4-week minimum, monthly accrual, mandatory in-year use and the 18-month carry-over, per art. 10 D.Lgs. 66/2003.
Why this add-on
Odoo's Time Off engine manages leave types and allocations but does not know the Italian statutory ferie rules. This rule pack adds them. It computes, per employee and per year, the four-week statutory annual-leave entitlement, accrues it month by month for new hires and leavers, splits it into the mandatory in-year portion and the carry-over portion, and tracks the 18-month carry-over deadline. It then generates the matching Time Off allocation in one click.
It is an add-on rule pack: it builds on the community
hr and hr_holidays apps - no
Enterprise dependency. The calculation core is pure Python and
fully unit tested; every figure is the published statutory
value, nothing is hard-coded beyond the law.
What it does
Four-week minimum entitlement
The statutory floor of four weeks of paid annual leave (art. 10, c.1 D.Lgs. 66/2003, transposing EU Directive 2003/88/EC art. 7) is converted to the employee's own weekly distribution: a six-day week yields the 24-day reference, a five-day week yields 20 days. Contractual or CCNL entitlements expressed in weeks or in days act as a floor that can only raise the minimum, never lower it.
Monthly accrual (rateo)
Ferie accrue one twelfth of the annual entitlement for each month of service. A calendar month counts as whole when the worker is in service for at least 15 days of it (frazione di mese ≥ 15 giorni = mese intero - the standard CCNL rounding). New hires and leavers therefore get a correct pro-rata accrual; a strict day-proportional mode is also available.
Mandatory in-year use & carry-over split
Article 10 requires at least two weeks to be enjoyed in the year of accrual (consecutive on the worker's request); the remaining two weeks may be carried over. The pack shows both portions per employee, plus any contractual excess above the statutory four weeks.
18-month carry-over deadline
The carried-over ferie must be enjoyed within 18 months of the end of the accrual year. The pack computes the exact deadline (e.g. ferie accrued in 2025 lapse on 30 June 2027), flags expired balances, and settles untaken leave on termination (indennità sostitutiva). The window is configurable for more favourable CCNL terms.

| Daily-proportional accrual | Alternative pro-rata | annual × service days / days-in-year |
| Mandatory in-year use | Art. 10, c.1 | ≥ 2 weeks to be taken in the accrual year |
| Carry-over portion | Art. 10, c.1 | Remaining 2 weeks carried over |
| 18-month deadline | Art. 10, c.1 | Expiry 18 months after year end; configurable window |
| Termination settlement | Art. 10, c.2 (indennità sostitutiva) | Untaken balance paid out on leaving |
| Time Off allocation | Odoo hr_holidays | One-click draft allocation on the configured leave type |
| Batch generation | - | All employees for a year, with carry-forward roll-up |
How to use
- Open an employee, fill the Italian Leave (Ferie) tab: working days per week, optional contractual weeks/days, and the hire date.
- Under Italian Leave in the HR menu, run Generate Ferie for the year - optionally for all employees and rolling last year's balance forward.
- Review each entitlement: annual days, accrued days, the in-year / carry-over split and the 18-month deadline.
- Click Generate Allocation to create the Time Off allocation on your statutory ferie leave type.
Compliance note
The rates and deadlines carried by this module are the statutory figures of art. 10 D.Lgs. 66/2003 and EU Directive 2003/88/EC. National collective agreements (CCNL) frequently grant more favourable terms (more days, longer carry-over). All inputs - working days, contractual entitlement, accrual mode and carry-over window - are configurable so you can match your CCNL. Confirm the applicable terms against your collective agreement before running live HR processes.
