Holidays

Holidays rights and payment

Following the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) of temporary employees, your temporary employee is entitled to 20 days of vacation per year (prorata).

  • This amount is included in their hourly gross salary (8.33%).

If they are younger than 20 years or 50 years and older, they are entitled to 25 days of vacation per year (prorata).

  • This amount is included in their hourly gross salary (10.60%).

This amount is notified on the payslip  but not paid-out and put into a reserve.

 

How does the Holiday Reserve work?

The amount paid for your holidays is included in the gross salary; on every pay slip one can see that the amount is not paid out directly. Instead it is put aside in your collaborators name.

Every month one puts aside the equivalent of approximately 1.6 days of vacation. During holidays, the equivalent of the hours that one takes as vacation are then paid through this fund.

This is a legal guideline which has been put in place, in order to avoid that people paid per hour miss weeks of salary because the don’t enter their work hours during their holidays.

Please note that the holidays reserve can only be paid when:

  • effective vacations are entered into WebTime ™ and validated
  • the  assignments ends and reserves are being paid out

 

Approve Holidays

  1. The temporary worker will request or plan his holidays with his Hiring Manager.
  2. If you, as Hiring manager, have approved the holidays, the worker needs to inform Manpower.
  3. The holidays will be registered by the temporary worker or Manpower in WebTime™ and will be approved with the regular time sheet approval process.
