Yesterday worked an extra hour, today no break. These are situations that frequently occur in the hospitality industry. The CLA contains rules to protect you as an employee and ensure that your working and rest times are balanced. It is included in the CLA that your employer must properly record your working and rest times. You can request an overview of this at your request.
In the CLA, a limit is set on the number of overtime hours you can be required to work. A full-timer in the hospitality sector works 1,976 hours per year. This averages 38 hours per week. If you are required to work more than 2,173 hours (10% above the full-time annual hours norm of 1,976 hours), you may refuse. You do not have to come to work, but you can, of course, choose to do so.
It is good to be aware of the hours you work and to keep track of them yourself. That is why De Horecabond has developed a time logbook for employees in the hospitality sector.
