What you need to know about your contract as a temporary worker

You are employed as a temporary worker. What does that mean for your pay and how do you know what you are entitled to? Where can you go for questions and who is responsible for checking your contract with your temporary employer.

As a temporary worker, your rights may be complicated because your workplace is a different organization than the organization that pays you. You might have questions about your terms and conditions of employment. But to whom can you ask those questions?

For example, what about your salary? Your travel allowance? Reporting sick and continued payment during illness? And who is in charge of your safety in the workplace?

The collective bargaining agreement for temporary workers

The terms of employment for you as a temporary worker are set out in the collective bargaining agreement. A CAO is a collective bargaining agreement established by employees and employers. As a temporary worker, you are probably in the ABU collective agreement or the NBBU collective agreement.

This collective bargaining agreement contains various agreements on financial compensation, such as wages, allowances, travel allowance and vacation pay. It also contains agreements about illness and your health and safety.

The Foundation for Compliance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement for Temporary Workers (SNCU).

Are you a temporary worker and have questions about the Temporary Employment Agreement?

Are you receiving the correct hourly wage? When will I be paid accrued vacation pay? Am I entitled to holiday and overtime pay? What am I entitled to if I am sick?

The SNCU helps you with this. The SNCU checks whether the Collective Labor Agreement is being implemented. For example, do temp agencies comply with the rules? They also explain the working conditions of temporary workers. The SNCU is the hotline for anyone who suspects that certain collective bargaining rules are not being properly observed in the temporary agency work sector.

Do you have questions or something to report? This can, of course, be completely confidential. Go to www.sncu.nl

The SNCU has already been able to help many temporary workers. Through investigations, they aim to ensure that temporary workers are paid back what they wrongfully did not receive. In 2023, for example, an amount of €1.7 million was paid back to temporary workers, thanks to the SNCU.
