Is it mandatory to get double pay on public holidays?

Questioner

Recently I worked on King's Day, only I was told that I was not paid double here. I can't find much information on the internet myself and therefore I also wondered under which CAO working as a tanning salon employee falls? I also had a question because I work after 21:00, is a surcharge also mandatory here?

Lawyer

Whether you are entitled to compensation depends on the agreements in your employment contract and/or the collective labor agreement. Which collective labor agreement you fall under must be stated in your employment contract. If there is no reference, it may be that no collective labor agreement applies. In that case, it concerns the agreements in your employment contract. It may be a good idea to go through a few things with each other so that you know where you stand and what your rights are.
