Vacation leave (incl 4+4)

Please see Holiday and vacation leave

Study leave

For every year, you are entitled to 5 days of study leave based on a 40-hour work week, which will be calculated pro rata if you work part-time. These will expire on 31 December. You can use the study leave if your selected training takes place during working hours. You can apply for leave by using the NMBRS (app). Use the group ‘study leave’

When to register study leave and when not?

When should you register study leave and when not? The basic principle is simple:

• If Voys organizes something to help you do your job better, it’s simply part of your workday.
• If you choose a course/training yourself, paid from your study budget, and you follow it during working hours, then you use study hours.

Here are some practical examples to give you an idea:

Buying holiday hours

We offer you the opportunity to buy five holiday days , based on a 40-hour workweek, calculated pro-rata if you work part-time. You cannot file a request for this kind of leave through NMBRS. So, please talk to the Request for Leave role to get this arranged.

Note that you won’t acquire holiday allowance, or unemployment rights during those days. We do have some costs, for example, because we continue the payment of the employer's and employee’s contribution of the pension. We will take care of this, so this is a gift from the organization! This goes for the 5 days on a full-time base employment contract. If you want to take more time off you can take longer unpaid leave, the extra costs will be your own responsibility.

<aside> 📌

Example: you work 40 hours a week and want to buy 40 holiday hours for this year.

These hours are deducted from your salary. You can choose how this deduction is handeld:

• All at once in the upcoming salary payment, or:
• Spread out over a couple of months (this depends on the remaining months in the year at the time of buying).

If you choose to spread it out over 12 months, it works like this: 40 Hours / 12 months = 3.33 hours deducted per month.

You decide over how many months the deduction is spread (up to a maximum of 12 and time of the buying).

The full settlement must be completed no later than the end of the same year.
