"allocation of 6 working hours reduction days per year"
English to Dutch
Bus/Financial
Law: Contract(s)
I am struggling to understand/translate the sentence in the title. This sentence is used in an employment contract (Belgium), but I am unsure if maybe the English sentence contains an error, or if I'm simply reading it incorrectly.
The full sentence is:
The Employee is employed full time based on 38 hours of work per week, with allocation of 6 working hours reduction days per year.
I am familiar with the allocation of compensatory days of rest, but this sentence mentions working hours. Does anyone know what the correct translation might be? Or if it is indeed an error which should be reported to the client?
Thanks for your help!

'working hours reduction' seems to be a translation for 'arbeidsduurverkorting (ADV)/arbeidstijdverkorting (ATV)'

Working-time reduction
Under the Arbeidstijdverkorting (working-time reduction – atv) or Arbeidsduurverkorting (working-hours reduction – adv) scheme, employees work more hours per week than their contractually agreed number of hours. For example, your contract is for 38 hours a week, but in reality you work 40 hours a week. You then accumulate 2 working-time reduction hours per week. The extra hours worked can be taken as leave at some point in the future. The timing of when this leave can be taken and how to apply for it are agreed in consultation with your employer.

Getallen die met een enkele lettergreep (zes) of met twee lettergrepen (zestien)worden geschreven, kun je het best voluit schrijven, tenzij achter het getal (de grootheid) een eenheid volgt (zoals s, m, km/h) etc.
Overigens: is de afzender of de doelgroep Overheid of Onderwijs? Dan is gebruik van de de spelling van Onze Taal (het Groene Boekje) verplicht. Anders ben je vrij om - in dit geval - voor hoofdletters of voor kleine letters te kiezen, mits je dat in de volledig tekst consequent toepast. Veel hangt ook af de typografie, dus van het gekozen lettertype (en natuurlijk van het gebruik in het vakgebied van afzender en ontvanger van de 'boodschap'. Is kleinkapitaal beschikbaar in het lettertype... dan pas je dat toe en anders kies je voor hoofdletters als de stok- en staartlengte van het letterbeeld niet overdreven groot is.
