Questioner

My employer has decided not to extend my temporary annual contract within the care for the disabled. My contract expires on July 15 and I have maternity leave until June 23. Now she has just indicated in conversation that I have to take my leave, vacation and PBL hours from the past year and that way I do not have to cooperate. I want to have my accrued hours paid out correctly and work the last working days because it is not only necessary financially in my situation but also to close it off for myself. My question is. Am I entitled to payment of my accrued leave-vacation- and PBL hours upon termination of a contract? Can my employer refuse me to work my remaining shifts until July 15? Thank you in advance for your attention and I hope you will answer my question.

Lawyer

In principle, the employee decides when she takes vacation. You do not have to agree to the employer's proposal. This will only change if there are compelling business interests to let you take vacation during that period. These are not apparent from your story. I therefore advise you to object to the employer's actions and say that you want to resume work on 23 June. On 23 June, you must then report to the employer again.
