Employers, listen up.
The Dutch rules for contracts and dismissal have changed.
The new Balance Employment – Market Act
is bridging the gap between permanent and flexible contracts.
What has changed?
From now on, employers pay high unemployment insurance premiums
for employees with a flexible contract.
And low premiums for employees with a permanent contract.
Payroll-workers are entitled to the same working conditions
as employees with a contract.
And you have to offer your on-call workers
a fixed number of hours after one year.
If you dismiss employees, or don’t renew their contracts,
you owe them a transition payment that is calculated from their first working day.
Dismissal on cumulative grounds is now also an option.
