Legal questions about minus hours and leave?

Questioner

Dear, Can my employer offset my minus hours? with my leave hours? As far as I know this is not allowed. My employer refers to the fact that we do not have a collective labor agreement.

Lawyer

As an employee, you can enforce payment of wages for the agreed hours. The minus hours are for the account of the employer. The employer must therefore continue to pay the wages. Deductions based on minus hours are not permitted. If the employer wants to pay less, he should have offered a contract for fewer hours. In principle, the employer may not offset time either. Because you as an employee need rest time, you are legally entitled to four times the agreed working hours per week in vacation. This is a minimum requirement and you can call the employer who wants to offset this to the carpet. If other leave hours are involved, the rules may differ. If you wish, you can contact us without any obligation.

Thanks in advance for the information! Is there a site somewhere that has such legal rules for employees without a collective labor agreement? So that I can demonstrate to my employer that certain 'arrangements' are not applicable. Bvd
