Holidays and Sickness Benefits Act: What You Need to Know


Questioner

Dear Sir/Madam, Can my boss deduct vacation days if I am on sick leave? I hear different stories about that.

Lawyer

Your boss may only offset the statutory vacation days with sick days under certain circumstances. This is not allowed and you would be wise to consult your employment contract or collective labor agreement to see if this is permitted.

Lawyer

Your employer may deduct additional statutory vacation days. You can enforce four times the agreed working hours per week in vacation days. With 20 statutory and 5 extra-statutory vacation days, the employer may withhold 5 extra-statutory vacation days. If you wish, you can contact us without any obligation.
