Working as temporary staff during the holidays?
If you are working as an assistant at Christmas, you should also check your rights. Temporary employees have the same working conditions as others.
It is also good to remember that when temporary workers leave their employment, they must also be paid accrued holidays in the final salary payment, among other things. As a general rule, employees earn annual holiday for every calendar month containing at least 14 working days. If an employee works so infrequently that they do not accrue months containing 14 days, annual holiday is earned for those months when they have done at least 35 working hours.
The employment certificate received for seasonal work can also help you to find employment later on. Don't forget to ask for a certificate. The employer is obliged to give you one by law when the employee asks for an employment certificate.
You can find the working conditions of the holiday staff - and others - such as the minimum wage, in the collective agreements. If yours is not on the list, you can find all collective agreements here.
