Changes in remuneration for temporary employment

A collective labour agreement (CAO) was reached for temporary employment that will see changes to the remuneration framework in the sector.

Worker unions and the Association of Temporary Employment Agencies (Algemene Bond Uitzendondernemingen or ABU) reached an accord after laborious negotiations.

A statement released by the ABU revealed that temporary workers will receive wages based on the employment terms of the hiring company. This change will take effect from 30 March 2015. In the original 2012 CAO, this was a principe-afspraak, a non-binding agreement between the negotiating parties.

A separate salary framework will be applicable for people who have been unemployed for a long period of time or those who have difficulty finding jobs. This remuneration structure is also applicable to employees under the Participatiewet. There will also be a separate wage structure for the temporary workers that have contracts for an indefinite period of time with job placement agencies.

In addition, the unions and employers have also agreed on a wage increase of 1.8% starting from 29 December 2014.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
