Description topics
- Working hours
- The number of hours someone works in a normal or average working week. There is a distinction between weekly working hours and yearly working hours. Weekly working hours are calculated by the average paid hours for a job, divided by 52. Paid hours include leave, paid overtime and paid sick and study leave, but exclude reduction of working hours. Weekly working hours without overtime is also determined.
The yearly working hours of a job are the average paid hours a year excluding overtime and holiday leave, reduction of working hours and national holidays. For the yearly working hours of a working year this yearly average is determined for a year of employment instead for a job.- Per job per week including overtime
- Weekly working hours are calculated by the average hours paid for a job per year divided by 52. The hours paid include hours leave, paid overtime, and paid sick and study leave, but exclude reduction of working hours.
- Per job per week excluding overtime
- Weekly working hours are calculated by the average hours paid for a job per year divided by 52. The hours paid include hours leave and paid sick and study leave, but exclude reduction of working hours and paid overtime.
- Per job per year
- The yearly working hours of a job are the average hours paid for a job per year excluding overtime hours and holiday leave, leave as compensation for shorter working hours (ADV) and public holidays. For the yearly working hours in a year of employment this yearly average is calculated for a year of employment instead for a job.
- Per working year
- A working year is a measure for the labour volume calculated by converting all jobs (full-time and part-time) in a year to full-time equivalents (fte) by dividing the agreed working hours by the agreed working hours of a full-time job in a particular industry. The resulting full-time equivalents add up to working years. For example, two jobs of 0.5 fte add up to one working year.
