Compensatory rest
Compensatory rest is a rest period granted in exchange for work under a special regime, notably overtime. It should not be confused with annual leave. Its duration and modalities depend on the origin of the right to recovery.
In a Luxembourg calculation, identify the nature of the hours before applying a coefficient. Keep the dates of service, credited hours, recoveries taken, and the balance. The general mention of recovery does not allow verifying if the expected increase has been applied. At the end of the contract, the treatment of the balance must be examined.
In the ordinary regime of overtime, one hour generally entitles one and a half hours of rest. This coefficient should not be applied to any absence presented as recovery: first identify the hours and the scheme that entitle the right.
