Unemployment benefits and holiday pay | Free advice

Questioner

Hi, my question is about unemployment benefits and income. I will be receiving unemployment benefits as of March 5, 2017 after working for a temporary employment agency for more than 1.5 years. I am still entitled to the 2016 annual bonus and holiday pay, my odd days off and I also have 21 plusflex hours (overtime). Can the UWV deduct these from the unemployment benefit?

Lawyer

No, the UWV may not deduct this from the unemployment benefit. The sv wage must be used to determine the benefit, which also includes the holiday pay. The remainder will not be deducted from your unemployment benefit.
