Holiday must be used up within six months

From next year, workers will have just six months to use up excess holiday days or lose them, under new legislation passed in the senate on Tuesday.


Now, unused holiday can be saved up for a maximum five years. Extra days off agreed in individual pay and conditions deals are not covered by the change.
Dutch workers have an official 20 days holiday a year.
