Article 7:634 Dutch Civil Code, Book 7

Paragraph 1

For each year in which the employee has been entitled to wages for the full agreed working hours, he or she acquires an entitlement to annual leave of at least four times the agreed working hours per week or, if the agreed working hours are expressed in hours per year, to at least a corresponding period.

Paragraph 2

An employee who has been entitled to wages for part of a year acquires, for that part, an entitlement to annual leave amounting to a proportional share of what he or she would have been entitled to if he or she had been entitled throughout the entire year to wages for the full agreed working hours.

Paragraph 3

By collective labour agreement or by a regulation issued by or on behalf of an administrative authority competent to do so, derogation may be made from paragraph 2 in respect of employees whose employment contract ends after it has lasted at least one month, to the effect that the entitlement to annual leave is calculated over periods of one month.
