Tegemoetkomingen in de loonkosten van specifieke groepen (Wet tegemoetkomingen loondomein)

This Dutch bill, the 'Wet tegemoetkomingen loondomein' (Act on wage cost contributions), concerns financial support that the Netherlands provides to employers to offset part of the wage costs of certain groups of workers. Such schemes are typically used to encourage employers to hire or retain people who face barriers in the labour market. The bill was submitted to the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of the Dutch parliament. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. Employers who hire or employ workers from the targeted groups would be the main parties affected, as would the workers themselves and the public bodies that administer the contributions. The exact groups covered and the size of the contributions are set out in the full bill and are not captured in the available metadata.
