26% of Dutch employees call for more rights for flexible workers

Over a quarter (26%) of workers in the Netherlands are hoping for legislation that will allow flex workers to get a permanent contract more quickly.
According to a survey from HR software and services firm Visma|Raet, one out of four Dutch employees are hoping that this legislation will be announced on the upcoming Budget Day on September 20.
The research also showed that 26% of workers are not sure how they will get by next year, especially if the government does not announce “positive” tax changes for employees.
These proposed tax changes include a higher tax credit, reduction in the tax rate, higher travel allowance, and/or a higher work-from-home allowance.
Meanwhile, 21% said that they would find it understandable if they will not receive a pay rise next year if the government announces new measures that will cost their companies — including higher transport, production, and energy costs.
