If they don't, are they then obliged to pay me for 24 hours?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nThe decision on when to take leave days is generally up to the employee. However, sometimes different arrangements can be made in the contract or collective labor agreement.\n\n Does your employment contract or collective labor agreement state anything regarding taking these days off?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n If no other arrangements exist (and if there are, you don't have enough leave), this closure is at the employer's expense and risk. You are now indeed entitled to 24 hours of work per week.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n There is no mention of this (the pay slip does state that a certain number of hours must be worked before the date provided, which is the beginning of June,\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n If nothing is specified, you can choose how you take your time off. You are also entitled to 24 hours of work per week (or payment for it) during store closures. The employer is responsible for the store closure.\n \nSend your employer a letter stating that you disagree with the requirement to take your leave days and that you are entitled to continued pay. If you have any questions, please let me know.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n By \"there,\" you probably mean that there are no agreements about days designated by the employer. Therefore, your employer cannot force you to do so.\n Nowadays, vacation days do indeed expire six months after the year in which they were accrued. So, you must use up last year's vacation days before mid-2014.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Thank you very much for the responses,\n\n I will definitely do something with this.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55117274841437,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-22219-winkel-gaat-dicht-voor-6-weken-moeten-zij-mij-dan-door-betalen-of-kunnen-ze-mij-verplichten-om-mij","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
