Dutch government's planned freelance worker reforms won't solve inequality problems
NL TimesThe two laws with which the Dutch government wants to reduce the inequality between freelancers and permanent employees on the labor market will not actually work, the Council of State said in advice to the government on Monday. “The government’s approach in two bills to reform the labor market falls short because it does not fundamentally reform the labor market,” the government’s most important advisor said. But according to the Council of State, those exceptions also come with “less security and protection.” The Council of State expects this bill to have a “limited effect” and urged the government to better motivate these differences in treatment. The bill to combat fake self-employment, where freelance workers do the same work as permanent employees but save employers the government contribution to social security benefits, identifies legitimate issues, but will only contribute to solving these issues to a limited extent, the Council of State said.
