Are you planning your move and wondering if you're entitled to leave? At De Meubeltaxi, your moving specialist, we understand that moving is a significant undertaking—not just physically, but also emotionally and organizationally. That’s why, in this blog, we delve deeper into the topic of 'moving leave' to make your moving experience as smooth as possible.
Statutory Leave for Moving: What Are Your Rights?
In the Netherlands, there no specific legislation that regulates ‘moving leave.’ This means it’s not legally required for you to get time off from work to move. However, many employers do offer this possibility. Whether you are entitled to paid or unpaid leave for moving depends on your employment contract or collective labor agreement (CAO). We recommend discussing this with your employer in advance. Also, check with your HR department about any additional company policies that might apply to moving.
Special Leave for Moving: Is It Possible?
In addition to regular leave options, there is also the possibility of special leave. Special leave can be granted under certain circumstances, such as during a move. However, this type of leave is not legally required and depends on the agreements within your organization. Some companies offer special leave as part of their secondary employment benefits. It’s important to check this in your employment contract or consult with your HR department.
If you qualify for special leave for moving, it can be a valuable support, allowing you to handle your move calmly and efficiently without worrying about work obligations. At De Meubeltaxi, we encourage you to explore all available options and find the support you need to make your moving day a success.
