Holidays

How many holiday days do I get as a laborer?

Everyone who works hard deserves adequate rest. Every employee who has worked full-time for the entire year is entitled to 20 holiday days. If you want to take leave, discuss it with the company where you're employed and inform your Vivaldis office, so they can register your days off.

Of course, these holiday days are paid. Each year in May or June, your holiday pay is neatly deposited into your account by the the National Office for Annual Leave, the National Office for Annual Holidays. This means that the days taken are not paid at the time but are compensated all at once. Depending on where you work, you may also get additional time reduction days (ADV (shorter working hours) days).

How many holiday days do I get as a salaried employee?

If you have worked full-time for an entire year, you automatically qualify for 20 well-deserved holiday days. It's important to coordinate your planned leave with your employer. And don’t forget to inform your Vivaldis office so they can register everything correctly, ensuring your holiday days are accurately tracked.

Payment is straightforward. Every laborer receives their holiday pay from the the National Office for Annual Leave, usually in May or June. It’s important to know that this means your holiday days aren't paid at the moment but in one lump sum.

You may have even more good news. Depending on your workplace, you might receive extra ADV (shorter working hours) days, meaning more days to enjoy your free time.

Curious about your exact entitlement to holiday days? It’s wise to check with your union or directly with the the National Office for Annual Leave to know precisely what you’re eligible for.

What are ADV (shorter working hours) days?

If the permanent employees at the company you're working for are entitled to reduced working hours or ADV (shorter working hours) days, then so are you. Whether these days are paid or unpaid depends on your company’s policy. Each organization has its own rules. For details about your situation, it’s best to contact your Vivaldis office. They can tell you everything about your rights and how to manage your ADV (shorter working hours)days.
