The law: Amending the Act on allocation of labour forces by intermediaries (WAADI) and some other laws in connection with the introduction of rules on the granting of permission for the posting of workers introduces an admission system for temporary employment agencies and other companies posting workers.
Law on the Admission of Workers to Employment
Under the new regime, lenders will only be allowed to operate in the market if they are authorised to do so. To do so, they must, among other things, submit a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), an amount of €100,000.00 must be provided as financial security. Is the lender a starting entrepreneur? Then a reduced amount applies to the lender when applying for provisional admission, namely €50,000.00, in addition, the lender must show that the correct wages and taxes are paid. Periodic checks are carried out to ensure that the lenders (service providers) continue to comply with the rules. Companies that use employment agencies / secondment agents, known as hirers (service recipients), may only do business with employment agencies / secondment agents that are admitted to the market. The Labour Inspectorate will supervise the obligations for in- and hirers. The bill also contains transitional law to encourage - in the run-up to the entry into force of the obligation of admission on 1 January 2026 - hirers to apply for admission before 1 July 2025 and, in the run-up to that, to be voluntarily certified by the Stichting Normering Arbeid (SNA).
The basic principles of the law regarding permission for temporary work and or posting
In the dynamic world of work and employment, temporary employment law plays an important role. The Law on Permission for the Posting of Workers (WTU), regulates the employment of workers by employers with another organisation. It protects workers' rights and interests while providing flexibility for employers.
Staff in the spotlight
The workforce, the core of any organisation, is of paramount importance to WTU. Its aim is to ensure that employees employed by other companies enjoy the same rights as full-time employees. This includes issues such as working conditions, workplace safety and holiday rights. This ensures that workers are not treated as disposable commodities, but as valuable and protected subjects in the labour market.
Worker protection (source)
WTU provides a strong legal framework to protect our workers. Employers who provide labour to other companies must comply with WTU's legal requirements and provide guarantees on working conditions. This ensures that workers are not exploited and receive fair treatment regardless of where they provide their services.
Benefits for Employers
While the WTU puts a strong focus on labour protection, it also offers benefits to employers. It allows them to be more flexible with their workforce, especially in situations where temporary reinforcement is needed. This can lead to cost savings and greater agility in today's competitive business environment.
