Dutch term or phrase: overbruggingstijd
What does the word OVERBRUGGINSTIJD mean .

e.g. Overbrugggingstijd is van toepassing voor werknemers van het paritair comité 140, in ons geval dus de arbeiders van Davytrans (05) en Walditrans (29) (= chauffeurs).

Thanks

transition time
Explanation:
Despite the lack of further context/explanation at the time of entry, I'll guess it's "transition time". Do note, however, that this can mean different things in different contexts:
1) the period in which an employee gives notice and leaves a company;
2) the time during which, say, the afternoon shift relieves the day shift.

agree  Ken Cox: Since the text mentions the paritair comité, it might also have something to do with the term of office in the committee (possibly w.r.t. regular job)

interim period


Explanation:
Perhaps this has something to do with the merging/joining of two divisions in a transport company,in which an interim period is necessary for the management to work things out.

available hours


Explanation:
at first glance i thought 'transition period', then i looked into it.
there's a PDF "Berekeningswijze transportsector ADV dagen
Sociale toeslag" (google it) that redefines 'overbruggingstijd'
as 'beschikbaarheidstijd' and goes on to detail it exhaustively.
i won't take up that space here.
the http is for the use of 'available hours'
