Yes, responsibilities will be adjusted accordingly. On-Call depends a bit on your sector and what the unions agreed. Most of the time one hour on call will count for 0.25 hour worked I think, at least that's how it was for someone I knew. And most people simply put their days / hours in their e-mail signature so other colleagues know when to expect a reaction. From personal experience this works fine. Half my team is off every Friday and some also on Wednesdays. Companies can and do require 36 or 40 hours though, but most of the time vacancies will list something like "24-36" to signal the possibilities. --- edit: for your curiosity: https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/visualisaties/dashboard-arbeidsmarkt/werkenden https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/visualisaties/dashboard-arbeidsmark... It's in Dutch, but as long as you know that 'uur' = 'hour' you can read the charts. As of 2020, 72% of men worked 35 hours or more (full-time) compared to 26% of women.
