Bill on transparent and predictable terms of employment

The bill on transparent and predictable terms of employment, which stems from a European directive, was sent to the Lower House on 11 November. The law is expected to enter into force 1 August 2022. It is important for employers to follow this development closely. Once introduced, the bill will go into effect immediately on 1 August 2022; agreements made before then may also be affected by this law. Employers will have to check and/or adjust model employment contracts accordingly.

In summary, something will change for the following topics:

• Extending the employer's duty of information
• Amendment of the law on working conditions for posted workers in the EU
• Predictable and secure terms of employment
• Extension of training obligation, ban on study cost clause
• Ban on ancillary employment clause

Flexbranche

The flex industry will also face changes. Labour lawyer Eline Beekhuis has written a column on this bill specifically for the flex industry. In the column, she discusses what the consequences will be for the flex industry when the bill Implementing the EU Directive on transparent and predictable terms of employment enters into force.
