Seizure of holiday pay: What are your rights?

Questioner

Can a bailiff seize my holiday money?

Lawyer

The bailiff cannot seize your entire salary; he must take into account the exempt amount. That is the part of your income that you are allowed to keep for subsistence and fixed costs. The height of the attachment-free foot is legally determined and depends on the family composition, among other things. The attachment-free foot is - with sufficient income - at least 90% of the social assistance standard for your situation, including holiday pay. As long as you receive this exempt amount every month, your holiday pay can also be seized.
