Through this Act, the government aims to combat abuses in the labour supply market. The Wtta will come into force on 1 January 2027. From 1 January 2028, the Dutch Labour Inspectorate will enforce the licensing requirement.<\/p>\n<h4>Who does the Wtta apply to?&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>The Act applies to temporary employment agencies. These are companies which, in return for payment, make workers available to carry out work under the supervision and direction of another party. This includes, amongst others:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>temporary employment agencies;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>staffing agencies;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>payroll agencies;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>companies that occasionally supply staff.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, the Wtta applies to hirers, i.e. companies that hire staff.<\/p>\n<h4>Lenders<\/h4>\n<p>The Wtta\u2019s regulatory framework is mandatory. It assesses not only a company\u2019s financial and administrative reliability, but also the way in which it treats its employees. Staff-letting agencies may only let out staff if they hold a licence or an exemption. To be eligible for this, they must demonstrate in advance that they comply with the regulatory framework. They are also subject to periodic supervision and inspections.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, lenders must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>pay a deposit of \u20ac100,000;<\/li>\n<li>submit a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Hiring organisations<\/h4>\n<p>Although the Wtta focuses primarily on companies that supply staff, companies that hire staff will also face new obligations and responsibilities. From 1 January 2028, they will only be permitted to hire staff from agencies holding a licence or exemption from the Dutch Labour Hire Market Authority (NAU), unless a statutory exception applies. In addition, hirers must specify, no later than the start of the work, which temporary staffing agency is providing the staff. This obligation also applies in the case of sub-hiring. Furthermore, hirers are responsible for providing the terms and conditions of employment to the temporary staffing agency in a timely manner.<\/p>\n<h4>The Waadi register becomes the Wtta register&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>On 1 January 2028, the Chamber of Commerce\u2019s (KVK) Waadi register will be transferred to the NAU\u2019s public Wtta register. As a result, lenders will no longer be required to include a Waadi registration in the Commercial Register. The current Waadi check for hirers via the KVK\u2019s website will also be discontinued. However, registration in the KVK\u2019s Commercial Register will remain mandatory.<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size:smaller\" class=\"im_source\">Source: Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment | legislative amendment | Stb. 2025-385 | 23 November 2025<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Act on the Admission and Supply of Workers (Wtta) stipulates that companies may now only<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4729,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwg.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwg.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwg.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwg.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwg.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/vwg.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4728\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwg.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vwg.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwg.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vwg.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
