Accruing career hours a. The employee has 24 career hours per year in the case of full-time employment. Saving up career hours is maximised at 24 days (of 8 hours) in the case of full-time employment. After this, no more accrual takes place until hours that have already been saved have been taken. In the case of part- time employment, the accrual of career hours applies pro rata.
b. The career hours are granted annually on an advance basis in hours (time). If the contract of employment is interrupted in the interim or if the employment time factor changes, there will be a recalculation. No limitation period applies to the career hours. On termination of employment, the hours that have not been taken will lapse, unless the termination is on the employer’s initiative, except in the case of dismissal for urgent reasons.
c. Employees who are partially incapacitated for work under the WAO/WIA and who carry out work for the employer for the part that they are able to work accrue career hours proportionate to the hours worked.
