How to claim underpaid travel expenses from the boss?

Questioner

I have been working in the hospital for about 9 years now, where I was given a contract of 22 hours. Now it turns out in the new system of paying out direct days that I have received travel expenses for 3 days per week for all those years, while I worked an average of 5. Only now have I discovered this through the new system. Can I still claim these extra days back from my employer? There is proof in the form of the harmony's.

Lawyer

In most cases, a limitation period of five years applies to such employment conditions. It is therefore possible to claim such compensation retroactively. It is important to look at what is included in the collective labor agreement and the employment contract about travel expenses. This can influence the assessment of the issue. In addition, in certain cases it can make a difference whether you or the employer were already aware of this error. You really clearly indicate that you only noticed this later. If all goes well, it will be possible to calculate the amount you are still entitled to based on the time registration, etc. You can contact me without obligation via my profile to discuss the case and/or if you require legal assistance.
