Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s)
English term or phrase: "allocation of 6 working hours reduction days per year"
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!

Explanation:
'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.

agree  Kitty Brussaard: Helemaal mee eens. Ik zou de afkortingen in beide samenstellingen volgens de officiële spelling wel met kleine letters schrijven. Zie https://woordenlijst.org/zoeken/?q=adv en https://woordenlijst.org/zoeken/?q=atv.

  -> Dank je, Kitty. Op het internet zie je voornamelijk hoofdletters. Maar als de officiële spelling met kleine letters is, zou ik die ook volgen.
