You can schedule your vacation time 21 days in advance. This will then be approved as soon as possible, at least within 10 working days of submission.
Q: How do I build up my holiday hours?
A: For each hour worked, you accrue 0,0962 (or 9,62%) vacation hours.
The formula to calculate your vacation hours is (X) amount of worked hours x 0,092 = (x) vacation hours.
For example: 32 worked hours x 0.0962 = 3 vacation hours
Q: What is the difference between holiday allowance and vacation hours?
A: Holiday allowance (in Dutch: Vakantiegeld) is 8% of your gross wage that is added to your hourly wage and is paid out weekly with your salary. On your payslip, this is under the name: “Holiday Allowance”.
Vacation hours are paid vacation days. When working full-time, you are entitled to a minimum of 20 paid vacation days per year. The current CLA (E-commerce) prescribes that you are entitled to receive 25 days of vacation based on a 40-hour contract.
Q: What is the difference between statutory vacation and non-statutory vacation hours?
A: You receive statutory and non-statutory vacation hours. Based on a full-time contract (35 to 40 work hours per week) and under the e-commerce CLA you are entitled to receive 25 vacation days per year.
20 days are statutory vacation days and the remaining 5 vacation days are non-statutory.
You are allowed to ‘sell’ your non-statutory vacation days once per year. A vacation day has the price of the salary for a normal working day at the time the application is made.
