I’ve been working in my current job for almost two years.
I’m paid monthly but by the hour.
How many vacation days per month am I entitled to?
According to my payslips I usually get credited with a fraction of one day per month and not a full day.
Is this correct?
Do you work a 5-day week or a 6-day week?
