Artikel 3.4 Legal Status (Local Employees) Regulations 2020

Article 3.4 Leave 1 An employee is entitled to leave on public holidays and special leave in accordance with local regulations and local usage. 2 In special cases HDPO may decide to grant more leave on public holidays than required by local regulations or local usage and reduce employees’ salary or the number of holiday hours proportionately. 3 After consulting with the employee participation body at the mission, the head of mission specifies annually, in accordance with local regulations and local usage, the public holidays on which employees are entitled to paid leave. 4 The rules governing special leave are included in the mission version. 5 If the mission is closed on a local or Dutch public holiday and the head of mission has not designated that public holiday in that calendar year as a public holiday on which employees are entitled to paid leave, pursuant to paragraph 3, each employee may either deduct the hours of that day from their holiday entitlement or make up the hours at a different time.
