Rights in Operations: What are your Employees Allowed to Do?

Questioner

My employer falls under the VVT ​​CAO. I have informed them more than a month in advance that I have planned an operation. My employer indicates that I cannot do this without consultation. Is my employer obliged to give me time off for my operation?

Lawyer

If the employer has not responded within 2 weeks, the vacation/time off is in principle fixed. After that, the employer can only undo this due to compelling circumstances. The employer will then have to demonstrate this. He will also have to demonstrate that these are so important that your time off should yield to them. That will not be the case quickly.
