Abolish sector pay no impact at Payoffice B.V.

Minister Asscher abolished sector pay with immediate effect

Minister Asscher recently abolished sector remuneration with immediate effect. This has unpleasant consequences for many employment agencies and back-office organizations in the Netherlands, but not for Payoffice B.V..

Flexible labor more expensive?

Minister Asscher with this measure ensures that flexible work becomes more expensive in several cases. This is because an employer is assigned to a particular industry. For companies in the staffing industry means that they are classified in Sector 52 (Temporary Employment Agencies). This also applies to our back office organization. However, many staffing organizations took advantage of the opportunity to be classified in a different trade sector, so they had to face with a better premium and thus could save costs.

Employment agencies no longer classified by trade sector

Due to the fact that in recent years many employers were classified in a trade sector instead of Sector 52 (Temporary Employment Agencies), Minister Asscher has now ensured that the rules have changed in this regard. It is as of May 25, 2017 for no few staffing or back-office organizations anymore possible to be (partially) classified in a trade sector. Currently, therefore, it is mandatory for these organizations to be classified in Sector 52.

Annoying consequences for our concurrences

This change in the law has thus for many concurrences major implications for the level of cost. Previously, the premium could be remitted from the trade sector, but that is suddenly after the abolition of the sector remuneration no longer possible. This increases prices by as much as 10% for companies using of back office support and broadcasters.
