I work in horeca in Belgium and recently took some holidays/vacations (about 3 weeks off), of course authorized on paper, by my employer, as vacation days. My employer told me however , upon my return to work, that the days I took off will not be paid to me, because I already got vakantiegeld from 'sociaal fonds horeca.' I thought vakantiegeld was an extra, besides the vacations/days off that a company is obliged to pay its workers, which in Belgium is I believe around 20 working days. Am I correct? I'll appreciate the feedback.
