Register your senior days
You can find the application form for senior day withdrawals in the Self-service portal, under the tile "Absence applications". Choose absence type "Time off, senior".
Log in to the Self-service portal
You'll see your senior days in the Self service portal "absence quota overview".
Note that "senior days" cannot be transferred between calendar years. Nor can you agree on salary compensation for unused senior days.
Part-time employees
Number of senior days depends on the percentage of your position:
- 100 % position - 8 days
- 90 % position - 7,2 days
- 80 % position - 6,4 days
- 75 % position - 6 days
- 70 % position - 5,6 days
- 60 % position - 4,8 days
- 50 % position - 4 days
The year you retire
In the year you retire, the withdrawal of senior days is calculated proportionately based on when in the year you retire. For example, if you retire on 1 July, you can take half of the agreed number of senior days, which is four days. This also applies to part-time employees.
Additional holiday leave for 60+
The year you turn 60, you have the right to an additional week of holiday. You can use this extra time off consecutively, but it doesn't have to be connected with the rest of your regular holiday.
