Wijziging van Boek 7 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek in verband met het invoeren van een rechtsvermoeden van arbeidsovereenkomst op basis van een uurtarief

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This legislative proposal aims to amend the Dutch Civil Code to introduce a legal presumption that an employment contract exists if a worker's hourly rate falls below a certain threshold. This is intended to combat false self-employment and ensure workers receive proper legal protections. This change primarily affects freelancers and independent contractors who charge low hourly rates, as well as the companies that hire them, by shifting the burden of proof regarding employment status.
