NederlandsDo you work on a temporary basis via Actief Werkt! ? Then the ABU collective labor agreement for temporary workers applies to you. This collective labor agreement includes all terms and conditions of employment as agreed between employers and trade unions. You can think of agreements about wages, allowances and allowances. As of September 2, some things will change in the collective labor agreement for temporary workers, which are favorable for you. Here you can read what will change.
Changes to the collective labor agreement for temporary workers
Actief Werkt! is a member of the ABU and our flex colleagues are therefore covered by the ABU CLA. Een Another temporary employment collective agreement to which many employment agencies are affiliated is the NBBU collective agreement. These two collective labor agreements are now being harmonised. This means that the same rights and rules will apply to both collective agreements. This is favorable for temporary workers. from now on they will accrue more rights and will therefore have more security. We are of course very happy with that! The harmonized collective labor agreement will come into effect on 30 December, but some changes will already take effect on 2 September. Below you can read which ones they are.
Switching employment agency
Sometimes it happens that as a temporary worker you change employment agency. As of 2 September, the collective labor agreement stipulates that in some cases you retain your rights when you start working for another employment agency. That means the following for you:
- If you start working as a temporary worker through another temporary employment agency of the same parent company , you will retain your accrued rights (wage, accrual salary increase, accrual pension and number of contracts/weeks worked), even if you start working for another company.
- If you continue to work as a temporary worker at the same company, through another temporary employment agency, you will also retain your accrued rights. We already did this at Actief Werkt! , so nothing will change for our flex colleagues.
Allowances for physically demanding work will fall under the hirer's remuneration
It has been the case for a number of years that temporary workers are entitled to the same remuneration as permanent employees of a company. We call this the hirer's remuneration. This includes:
- The gross salary
- ATV or ADV days (in time or in money)
- Surcharges for overtime and irregular hours, such as shift work
- Expense allowances (such as travel allowances)
- Initial wage increases (the wage increases from the collective labor agreement)
- Periodic wage increases (wage increases that are given for good performance)
Something has now been added to this list, namely the allowances for physically demanding circumstances. For example, you can think of a dirty work allowance or a cold allowance. Do you work for a company where permanent employees are entitled to these types of allowances? In that case, it has now been arranged in the collective labor agreement that you as a temporary worker are also entitled to this.
Harmonized temporary employment collective labor agreement as of December 30
The changes that have now been announced precede a completely new collective labor agreement as of December 30, 2019. Even more adjustments may then follow. The parties to the collective labor agreement will discuss the further future of the collective labor agreement this year. We will inform you about the new collective labor agreement when it is final.
