Holiday by calendar month: collective agreements

Some collective agreements stipulate that a partial entitlement to holiday only arises for each full calendar month worked (as in the collective agreement for building cleaning, for example). A calendar month runs from the beginning of the month to the end of the month, whereas a month of employment begins on the first working day.

Please note: even if this is agreed in the collective agreement, the following still applies: you must receive the statutory minimum number of days’ holiday. The provision in the collective agreement will only apply if it contains a more favourable arrangement than the statutory minimum amount of holiday.
