Support package of 600 euros for temporary workers is too little

May 15, 2020

Since this week, the Cabinet has created a new support package to accommodate temporary workers who were previously virtually excluded from all schemes. They will receive an allowance of 600 euros per month, provided they can prove that they also earned at least 600 per month before the Corona crisis. The figures below show that for many temporary workers the amount will only be "a tip. A tip that must replace their entire income. Moreover, few students, who have side jobs as temporary workers, will be able to prove they meet the earning rules.

How old are the temporary workers?

In one year, more than 834,000 temporary workers work in the Netherlands.
Under 24 years of age : 37%
24 years and older : 63%
Much of this profession derives their main income from the temporary work.

What do they earn?

61% earns a base hourly wage of 1.1 to 1.3 times the minimum wage.
9% has a basic hourly wage based on of the minimum wage.
20% receives between 1.3 and 1.5 times the minimum wage.
10% earns 2x the minimum wage.

A two calculation example:

Temporary worker as main income: works an average of 30 hours per week.
Minimum wage 21+ years = €1,680 (based on 40 hours) x 1.3*⁾  = € 2184
This temporary worker earns an average monthly salary for a 30-hour work week : € 1638

Student of 20 years
Minimum wage 20 years = € 1344 (based on 40 hours)
This student earns an average monthly salary on a 15-hour work week € 504

The above figures show that the temporary worker with the main income from flex work does not have nearly enough on the 600 euros per month from the government. From that they can pay for groceries and their fixed expenses for only a few days.

With students, it shows that, if they for less than 18 hours per week have a side job (is the majority of students), they do not meet the required income requirement of 600 euros, to qualify for the allowance.

Special Corona-WWW scheme

The industry organizatis appreciate the government's gesture to compensate temporary workers as well. This is much needed. However, they argue for a special Corona unemployment scheme. This scheme is intended to ensure that access to WW for this group of workers is relaxed. A temporary worker must then, to qualify, have worked 8 out of the 12 works preceding it (instead of 26 out of 36 weeks).
They also propose that the level of unemployment benefits be increased during a 3-month period. This benefit could be paid from employer contributions.

Protect already vulnerable group of temporary workers in times of crisis

That the crisis will take longer than thought at the beginning is now clear to everyone. The industry associations find it is therefore time to get well before this, already vulnerable, group of workers. Temporary workers make an important contribution to our economy. One therefore advocates For them not to bear the brunt of this economic crisis. They too must be properly compensated.

More and more self-employed in the flex industry

May 9, 2020

In 2019, we counted 1.1 million self-employed people without personnel (zzp'ers) in the Netherlands. These are people for whom self-employment is the main job. This number has been rising for years. If we also count people for whom self-employment is a secondary income, this number is even higher. Total will we come around the 1.5 million mark. We encounter self-employed workers in all industries. One is often 45-plus and men are in the majority. Also, self-employed people are generally highly educated.

Here are some figures

Source: CBS, figures from 2019

Why become self-employed?

There are several reasons why working people become self-employed. Often it is because people want to have more control over when and where they work. People also indicate that they are looking for a new challenge. Sometimes a wish of "own entrepreneurship" is also fulfilled.

It is rare to become self-employed because a contract is not renewed or because an employer wishes to enter into a flexible arrangement.

Netherlands in Europe on the 7^e location

Within the European Union (EU), 1 in 10 employed people (aged 15-75) is self-employed. The share of self-employed is highest in Greece (22%) and Romania (16%). In these countries this is due to the large share in the agricultural sector. The Netherlands occupies the 7th place within the EU (12%). The lowest share is in Denmark (5%).

In most European member states, the share of self-employed workers in the employed labor force is increasing. The Netherlands is one of the biggest growers.

Self-employed in the healthcare industry

In the Netherlands, we see a steady growth in the number of zzp'ers, especially in the healthcare sector. Often these are experienced caregivers who are tired of being employed by a care institution. Too many changing shifts and unclear policies worry is often given as a reason for A switch to a zzp construction. Since also the tax rules for freelancers have been broadened, self-employment is becoming increasingly popular. 

Risks of working as a self-employed healthcare professional

Once you are self-employed, you are also an entrepreneur. You have a private company. This means that you are acting for "your own account and risk." The liability for your actions lies with yourself. You also have to handle everything yourself: financial, tax, customer care and liability. In addition, you are responsible for your own debtor management, sometimes a chore.

Good back office support solves a lot

Be alert with a flexible contract

April 30, 2020

In today's labor market, the number of people on permanent contracts continues to decline. There are more and more flex workers and that has advantages and disadvantages. The Netherlands is quite unique when it comes to this increase in the number of flex contracts. One in four workers has a flex contract. By flex contracts we think of on-call workers, temporary workers, self-employed workers and workers on temporary contracts.

Flexible human resources

The Dutch business model has changed in recent decades. Employers are giving fewer permanent contracts. Entrepreneurs in the construction industry, for example, can use flex workers to respond more easily to projects and deploy employees when and where needed. In the tourism and recreation industry, people are increasingly dealing with peak times. Small business start-ups also run less risk at the working with flexible workers.

Legal danger looms

However, the employer is quite often at legal risk when giving temporary contracts. SMEs in particular need to stay alert. They often lack a well-equipped human resources (HR) department that actively monitors the workforce. In the delusion of the day, employees with 0-hour contracts are often frequently deployed on the shop floor. However, if you deploy such an employee on a structural basis during a year, you should offer the on-call employee an employment contract based on the average number of hours worked per month in the previous year.

Another example is an employee who has already had 3 temporary contacts within 3 years. Would you continue to use this employee then you must offer him or her a permanent contract. And does your employee during the second or subsequent contract that lasts longer than 3 years simply continues for you? Then he automatically gets a permanent contract. 

Being a good employer

What is also becoming increasingly important these days is employee retention. Whether it's permanent employees or flex workers. In a labor market where labor is scarce, you want to not that you have good employees leaving you for a job elsewhere. So once again, it is time for good employment practice. Don't give employees (too) small contracts over and over again; that creates a lot of uncertainty. It also ties employees to your company less emotionally. Offer and compensate for flex workers training opportunities as well. And also consider them at handing out Christmas hampers and year-end bonuses.

Back office support offers help with good employment practices

Do you like working with a flexible workforce because your business operations simply require it? Then why not use the back office support From Payoffice B.V. We can offer your temporary employees, on your behalf, good employment practices. The nice thing about that is that you keep full control over it, but don't have to worry about it.

To make ends meet, temporary workers often need more than one job

April 24, 2020

Research by the CNV union shows that temporary workers often need more than one job to make ends meet. Multiple assignments with clients are often combined. In this way the temporary worker secures enough income to make ends meet.

The gap between flexible and permanent employment

The survey was conducted among 600 temporary workers. Of these, 60% indicated that they would actually prefer a permanent job partly because of this. In addition, 25% of the temporary workers surveyed indicated that they often have to be available full time for a hirer, even though they only have part-time employment.

CNV president Arend van Wijngaarden calls the figures disconcerting. Many temporary workers do the same work and have the same education as people in permanent employment. For these temporary workers, there is often no prospect of permanent employment. This means that there remains much inequality and thus a gap between flex workers and employees in permanent service.

New collective bargaining agreement for all temporary workers

As of Dec. 31, 2019, all temporary workers are covered by a new CLA. They will then all have the same terms of employment, a better legal status, more job security and guidance to remain permanently employable. The unions FNV, CNV Vakmensen, De Unie and LBV have agreed on this with the ABU and NBBU. The latter two are the two major trade organizations for temporary agency work.

CNV calls for more security for temporary workers

However, according to the CNV, it appears that employers have long since no longer see as relief for peaks and replacement during illness. Temporary workers are increasingly used structurally in the day-to-day operations of affairs within the company, while they do not have the same working conditions as colleagues in permanent employment. CNV therefore advocates For more security for temporary workers with respect to including continued sick pay and protection against dismissal.

The power of using flex workers

April 17, 2020

With the introduction of the Balanced Labor Market Act (WAB) on Jan. 1, the use of flexible staff seems to be becoming less popular. Are you indeed more expensive if you employ more flex workers? And which cons or conversely, do flex workers offer advantages over permanent employees?

The Borstlap Committee proposes measures to ensure that flexible work is discouraged by making it more attractive for employers to have permanent (indefinite) employees. In practice, however, just the opposite appears to be the case. The other side of the coin, however, is that millions of employees who are currently in (permanent) employment will, in part, be given less security as a result. In fact, it seems that with the proposals of the Borstlap Committee basically everyone becomes a kind of flex worker. This does not seem to be a good trend. In fact, despite what the Borstlap committee said, the percentage of flex workers deployed in the last three months increased by 8%, compared to 2019. A significant increase. And if it is up to the estimation of Knowledge Center TNO, in the course of 2020, one out of three employees a flex worker.

Benefits of working with flexible workers

The stakes of flex workers has many advantages. We list them for you:

• You can easily outsource recruitment and selection of flex workers. This saves you a lot of time in administrative tasks. You do not need to have all the knowledge in-house. Of working with flexible workers. A back office support has the knowledge of and channels to the labor market in the house.
• Flex workers can be deployed quickly and effectively on the job. No lengthy selection procedures for each position anew. Moreover, does a flex worker not like it, then you are not stuck to years of forced cooperation.
• Because flex workers do many different jobs in various industries, they often have many and sometimes special competencies. They can put these to work for your company.
• You run fewer employer risks. In fact, you can shift them to a back office organization that manages your temporary workers.
• If you eventually, upon proven suitability, want to hire the flex worker on a permanent basis, you can always do so.

Your personnel and financial administration in a back office support

• Simply outsource the entire personnel and financial administration of your flex workers. Let the specialists of back office support from Payoffice B.V. perform this for you. You stay in control, we do the work.

• If you hire an employee through Payoffice, you may we also possibly fill in to remaining hours, at the request of the temporary employee. This allows your flex employee to work at their best.

The above hopefully demonstrates that the use of a flexible employee may still be of interest to your company are, despite the measures when the WAB was introduced.

Invest in your temporary workers

Feb. 20, 2020

How secure are employed people in the Netherlands of work and income? How do self-employed and flexible workers deal with work and income uncertainties? What makes us more secure and why do uncertainties exist? These questions are answered in the fifth edition of Dynamiek op de Nederlandse Arbeidsmarkt https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/publicatie/2020/06/dynamiek-op-de-nederlandse-arbeidsmarkt-de-focus-op-zekerheid (CBS/TNO).

Temporary work is important

A third of those exiting unemployment end up in temp jobs. It is often an easy and acceptable way to get back to work. But flex work can bring job insecurity. So it is important for you as a business owner to invest in your temporary workers. You can often do this easily by introducing informal learning into the workplace. Informal learning is learning without a preconceived goal or form of work. It is learning on the job, through experience.

Many temporary workers engage in multi-jobbing

In the last decade, the number of people switching employers/professions has increased dramatically. We are also combining increasingly multiple jobs: multi-jobbing. At 7.4% of the labor force, this is now the case. It will give you not surprised that this is common among flex workers and temporary workers. Multi-jobbing offers many benefits. Just think of the informal learning encouraged by changing jobs/professions and having multiple employers. And it promotes your job security, because your acquired knowledge makes you employable with multiple employers. The latter in turn provides opportunities for employers, who are facing a scarcity in well-trained and work-experienced workers.

Let temporary workers learn informally

Informal learning in the workplace is especially important for low-skilled flex workers. This involves performing learning tasks while on the job. In practice, this would cost temporary staffing organizations relatively little effort and money, but for low-skilled temporary workers this is still sometimes difficult to achieve. Temporary employment agencies themselves should spend extra time to gain insight into these positions and they should also adapt the assessment process accordingly. In addition, they should take the time and effort to convince the hirer to invest in this as well. If they invest time in the development of (low-skilled) temporary workers shows that the motivation of temporary workers increases as a result. This results in:
- Lower absenteeism and fewer no shows.
- One can stay in the temp job longer.
- The temporary worker is easier to transfer.
- Temporary workers' familiarisation time is shorter due to (in)formal learning
- The temporary worker is more productive.
- The odds on the labor market of the temporary worker are increased.

New grant for learning and development in SMEs

Feb. 24, 2020

From March 2, 2020, companies within SMEs can apply for grants every year within the Incentive scheme for learning and development in SMEs. (SLIM Scheme). This grant is intended for initiatives aimed at stimulating employee learning and development in SMEs. The government makes €48 million available annually for this purpose.

For large companies in the hospitality, agriculture and recreation sectors, €1.2 million will be released so that they too can claim this subsidy.

Traditionally, it has been less common within SMEs for employees to keep their knowledge and skills up-to-date during their working lives. In this often small-scale businesses have employers often have less knowledge, time and money to encourage and supervise such processes.

Even in the recreation, hospitality and agriculture sectors, where seasonal and flexible work is common, it is time-consuming and costly to develop and supervise such a learning environment.

The SLIM scheme contributes to better learning environment. The SLIM scheme is applicable to:

• individual SMEs
• partnerships in SMEs
• the large companies from the agriculture, hospitality and recreation sectors
• Parties may, as of March 2, 2020, grant applications for all kinds of initiatives focused on learning and development. Consider:

Sector-specific adjustments to temporary employment industry now scheme

April 9, 2020

As of April 6, 2020, employers in the staffing industry may also be eligible for the Temporary Emergency Work Retention Bridge (NOW). The temporary employment industry advocates a number of additional criteria within this scheme. This is because otherwise thousands more temporary workers risk losing their jobs. Among other things, they argue for that the condition of 20% revenue decline applies.

Condition 20% turnover loss

For staffing agencies, application of only the most important NOW eligibility condition, that of 20% turnover loss within their own company, may well prove unfavorable. Many staffing agencies do not meet this 20% turnover loss, yet they may temporary workers their jobs losses. This may be because an assignment stops or reduces for at least 20% precisely at the hirer. Temporary employment agencies can then no longer employ, if they do not then also fall within the NOW scheme. Flex entrepreneurs should also be able to claim the scheme at the hirer and client level. Both the Algemene Werkgeversvereniging Nederland (AWVN) and a large employer such as the NS pointed out to the minister that temporary workers here are occupy an exceptional position.

Sector-specific adjustments needed in temporary employment industry

Despite announcing no sector-specific adjustments, the minister gives yet to be open to suggestions and want to accommodate the staffing industry. The Cabinet wants to keep as many people as possible employed during the Corona crisis. Thus, on April 2, it was also announced that temporary employment agencies and secondment companies that have a g-accounts use, may request the Internal Revenue Service to unblock the balance in these accounts.

Flex workers not sick more often than permanent employees

April 3, 2020

Recent research by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) shows that flex workers are not sick more often than their permanent colleagues. "You could almost say this is a persistent misconception," says chief economist at CBS Peter Hein van Mulligen. He makes this statement based on CBS' latest data on work and health. These show that employees who have a flexible contract, other than that was thought, actually have no weaker health at all than employees on permanent contracts.

Flex workers more likely to be sick?

About three years ago, a committee of top officials stated that a large percentage of benefit recipients had flexible work contracts in addition to their disability benefits. Henk Volberda, a professor at Erasmus University at the time, put this down to the assumption that flex workers had poorer working conditions and thus fell ill more quickly. The cause would be experiencing more stress and overwork. To which the NRC reported, "It is well known that flex workers work longer when sick and feel less healthy."

Sustainable employability

In mid-January this year, the Borstlap Commission came out with the conclusion that flex workers do tend to be more at risk in the workplace. On-call and temporary workers more often do dangerous work and are more often victims of industrial accidents. These flex workers also have less contact with a company doctor than permanent workers do. The committee writes: "The sustainable employability of this group of employees is therefore less safeguarded than that of workers on permanent contracts; with the risk that these flex workers will be at risk on the labor market fall by the wayside early". Employers are also investing less in temporary workers through training and courses. The less training, the less likely this sustainable employability is.

No major health differences between flex workers and permanent workers

The surprising thing about this is that this does not mean that flex workers are also sick more often than permanent employees, it now turns out, according to CBS. There are no major differences in health and sick leave between flex workers and permanent workers.

Among the unemployed, however, it is true that they are more often indicate they suffer from health complaints. As a result, there is for flex workers do have an indirect risk of health problems, according to CBS. Their job insecurity and possible loss of work and income, may subsequently cause health problems.

People with jobs often rate health as good

So there is no evidence that flex workers are sick more often than permanent employees. In this study, CBS looked at all forms of contract, by age, gender and education level. They also found no difference between them. The only significant difference is in employment versus unemployment. People who have a job (flex and permanent) generally rate their health as "good" or "excellent. Among the unemployed, this percentage is lower. Those who feel healthy find it easier to find a job again.

NBBU opens LinkedIn group for supply and demand during Corona crisis

The Nederlandse Bond van Bemiddelings- en Uitzendondernemingen (NBBU) stresses that temporary workers, despite all the setbacks caused by the corona crisis, can make a great contribution to the economy right now. In a number of sectors there is virtually no need for personnel at the moment, but in other sectors there is very high demand for personnel. The beauty of agency workers is that they are highly versatile and can switch quickly.
