As a reminder, for the period from 1 February 2020 until 31 December 2021, the days of work interruption resulting from temporary unemployment due to force majeure that was coronavirus linked are treated as days actually worked for the holiday pay and the holiday duration.

And the same applies to the days of temporary unemployment due to force majeure as a result of the exceptional weather conditions of 14 and 15 July 2021, which occurred during the period from 14 July 2021 to 31 December 2021.

And for 2022?

The government has agreed that the days of temporary unemployment due to force majeure related to:

  • the coronavirus and the exceptional weather conditions of 14 and 15 July 2021 and which occurred during the period from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022
  • the war in Ukraine and which occurred during the period from 1 April 2022 to 30 June 2022,

will be treated as days actually worked for the purpose of entitlement to annual leave. In return, employers will be compensated.

We will keep you updated as soon as we have more information.
