Wijziging van de Wet minimumloon en minimumvakantiebijslag in verband met een bijzondere verhoging van het wettelijk minimumloon met 1,2 procentpunt met ingang van 1 juli 2024 (Wet verhoging minimumloon 2024)

This Dutch bill amends the Minimum Wage and Minimum Holiday Allowance Act to raise the statutory minimum wage by 1.2 percentage points with effect from 1 July 2024. The measure is a special, mid-year adjustment to the wage floor set by the government, intended to support the earnings of low-paid workers as living costs rise. The title indicates it is formally known as the Minimum Wage Increase Act 2024. The change applies to employees paid the statutory minimum wage in the Netherlands, including those aged 21 and over, with knock-on effects for the minimum holiday allowance. Employers who pay workers at or near the minimum wage would need to adjust pay from the specified date.
