Many employers grant leave for weddings. You can then get time off for your own wedding or the wedding of a family member.
In the Netherlands, you do not have a legal right to marriage leave. This means that the law does not say you get time off for your own wedding or the wedding of a family member. Many employers, however, do grant leave for weddings. We call this 'special leave'.
The rules for special leave can be found in your CAO (collective labour agreement) or contract. The rules state:
No. The law does not say you have the right to any leave for your own wedding. Despite this, many employers do grant leave. This is called special leave. You can take leave if your CAO or contract of employment says so.
It depends on your CAO or contract of employment. You might get paid while you are on special leave, or you might not. Check with your employer.
Request leave from your employer. Make sure you do this on time. Check what the rules say in your CAO or contract of employment.
