Thank you

On 5 July 2022, the Minister of Social Affairs and Employment published the Labour Market Framework Letter. This letter outlines, among other things, an approach to modernize the labour market and announces a legislative review in 2023. The goal is to encourage long-term employment relationships. Read briefly in this blog the measures proposed by the Minister (which are currently before the House of Representatives for approval).

The purpose of a declaration of universal applicability (in Dutch and hereinafter referred to as: ‘AVV’) is to support the employers' and employees' associations in creating labour peace by way of collective agreements and to prevent competition on employment conditions. Pursuant to the AVV Act, the Minister of Social Affairs and Employment (in Dutch and hereinafter referred to as: 'SZW') is authorised to declare a CLA universally applicable. In this blog you will read what an AVV exactly entails and what the consequences are for employers and employees.

On the basis of Article 5 of the Working Conditions Act, every employer in the Netherlands is obliged to compile a hazard identification and risk assessment (in Dutch and hereinafter referred to as: ‘RI&E’), including a plan of action. Since 1 July 2022, the requirements for the RI&E and the assessment of the RI&E have changed. In this blog you will read about the main changes that have taken place.
