Absence
We prioritize the well-being and happiness of our employees, understanding that a healthy balance between work and spare time activities are essential for the overallengagement.
We believe that taking regular holidays is crucial for maintaining mental and physical health, preventing burnout, and fostering a positive work environment.
Whether it is a longweekend to unwind or a two-week adventure abroad, we encourage all employees totake as much vacation time as they need or desire.
In line with this philosophy, we provide statutory leave in accordance with NL regulations, ensuring that employees have the opportunity to rest, recharge, and pursue personal interests outside of work.
Vacation days
You are entitled to 25 working days of vacation per year from January 1st to 31st December based on a 40-hour working week. In the case of part-time employment, the vacation days are prorated based on your average hours worked up to 52 weeks prior.
If you are usingvacation days during the first working year, then the amount of vacation daysis proportional to your average hours worked. During the probationary periodmentioned in the contract, vacation requests may be denied for trainingpurposes.
Every year, there are5 vacation days that can be transferred over to next year. Vacation days that are carried over expire after 5 years.
Vacation Requests
Requests for holiday are recommended to be submitted to your manager at least 4-6 weeks in advance, following the availability procedure. It’s understandable that possible requests may come much later than the above-mentioned timeline, please consider that late requests are less likely to be approved.
Your manager can reject your request for vacation based on the store's operational needs, for example, in periods where several juicers request vacation in the same period or peak business periods.
Based on previous operational needs you can take a maximum of two weeks of vacation consecutively. There are special situations that may require a longer holiday period, so please communicate these needs as early as possible.This will result in a better chance for approval.
If you believe that your vacation request was unfairly denied, please email nlhr@joejuice.com.
