Additionally, check the status of the contract, the expenditure of time related to the work, salary and which tasks you will have to do. You might get a good insight into legal regulations on the website of the Chamber of Labour.” Indeed, there are legal differences between a holiday jobs and a work placement. A holiday job is seen as as regular working relation, with a claim to salaries in line with the collective wage agreement and a holiday, whereas the apprenticeship and the volunteering are in the focus of an internship with no claims to a salary or holiday.
