← 🇳🇱 Tweede Kamer/INITIATIEFWETGEVINGcde3811f-45ad-48e1-bbb6-c93900c9a12f

Voorstel van wet van het lid Jimmy Dijk tot wijziging van de Wet minimumloon en minimumvakantiebijslag in verband met de koppeling van het wettelijk minimumloon aan de ontwikkeling van het gemiddelde loon, het informeren van de Kamers en het toevoegen van zware voorhang (Wet indexering minimumloon)

Stage committeeUpdated 6d ago

This is a private member's bill (initiatiefwet) introduced in the Dutch House of Representatives by MP Jimmy Dijk. It proposes amending the Dutch Minimum Wage and Minimum Holiday Allowance Act so that the statutory minimum wage is indexed to the development of the average wage. It also covers informing the chambers of parliament about minimum wage decisions and introducing a heavy prior-consultation procedure (zware voorhang) before changes are made. If adopted, the statutory minimum wage would track average wage developments rather than being adjusted at the government's discretion. Workers earning the minimum wage, and employers who pay it, would be most directly affected, as would parliament's role in overseeing minimum wage changes. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full legislative text.
