How is payroll handled for temporary workers?
We determine the hourly wage based on the “inlenersbeloning” (equal pay principle). We use Plan4Flex (P4F) for hour registration: the temporary worker enters their hours, the client approves them, and Werckpost ensures correct and timely salary payments.
How does Werckpost support its temporary workers on the job?
Daily guidance on the work floor is your responsibility as the client. However, we schedule evaluation moments to monitor progress. We also invest in our temporary workers’ development through training and courses to keep them employable.
What rates/margins does Werckpost apply?
That depends on the position you need to fill. Contact your local Werckpost branch to discuss the conversion rate or tariff.
Which collective labour agreement (CLA) applies to temporary workers?
Temporary workers are covered by the NBBU CLA for temporary agency workers.
Which certifications does Werckpost hold?
You can find all our certifications on our certifications page.
How do I submit a job vacancy to Werckpost?
You can do this by contacting a nearby Werckpost office. The step-by-step process is explained on this page.
What happens if a temporary worker is sick?
The worker must report their illness to both you and us. The NBBU CLA applies in case of illness.
-
During their contract, the worker is entitled to sick pay.
-
If their contract ends, they may receive a sickness benefit (ZW-uitkering) supplemented by Werckpost.
-
Sick pay is 90% of the wage in the first year and 80% in the second year.
Who is responsible in case of a workplace accident involving a temporary worker?
As the client, you are responsible under the Dutch Working Conditions Act (Arbowet) for compliance with safety regulations — including for temporary workers.
You must provide an Arbo document to Werckpost before the assignment begins. Werckpost will ensure the temporary worker signs it before starting.
Tip: Make sure your liability insurance covers damages from workplace accidents involving temporary staff.
What happens to temporary workers if the client company goes bankrupt?
Werckpost will assess the situation and applicable legislation. If work ends for temporary staff, we do our best to relocate them to other clients as soon as possible.
How does Werckpost protect the privacy of its clients and workers?
To provide our services, we process personal data. We value your privacy and handle this data with care and confidentiality. You can read more about how we process and protect data in our Privacy Statement.
What are the rules for hiring holiday workers?
Holiday workers can be employed during all school vacations. They are also entitled to the “inlenersbeloning” (same terms as regular staff).
Under strict conditions, workers under the age of 16 may be hired — please contact us for specific guidelines.
Which staffing association is Werckpost affiliated with?
Werckpost is a member of the NBBU (Dutch Association of Mediation and Employment Agencies). NBBU-certified agencies are strictly monitored for correct application of the CLA, administrative quality, timely tax payments, and responsible operations. The Labour Standards Foundation (SNA) also monitors our compliance — so you can be confident that there will be no hidden costs.
