After this half year, it became a 38-hour contract for one year. The last few months have been so quiet that I have now built up about 40 minutes. My vacation hours are now at 60 hours.\n\n However, by finding a new job I am going to terminate my employment. Can my employer compensate the minus hours with my vacation hours or deduct them from my salary?\n\n Hopefully you can tell me more about this.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n From your story I understand that you have a 38-hour contract, but that you have been working too few hours lately because there was no work. Do I understand that correctly?\n \nIn that case, the minus hours do not affect your dismissal. If you have a 38-hour employment contract, your employer must give you work for 38 hours. If he cannot do this because there is no work, he must still pay you for those hours. In fact, there are no minus hours now in your dismissal. You are entitled to be paid for 38 hours and you must be paid for that, and if he has no work for you, that is a shame. Then he must actually pay you for nothing. That is how it works.\n\n You have informed me that you are going to resign. So there has to be a final settlement. In this you can include all vacation hours. You will then be paid all your vacation hours upon termination of employment and your last salary based on 38 hours (if you have not yet been paid). And your employer must waive and release the minus hours, however annoying that may be for him.\n\n I hope I have helped you well.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55016534802781,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-33558-geachte-heer-mevrouw-ik-werk-nu-bijna-een-jaar-in-een-hotel-waar-ik-ben-begonnen-met-een-38-uur-c","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
