Wtta: Law on the Admission of the Provision of Labor Forces
Find out what the Wtta (Act on the Admission of the Provision of Workers) will change for your organization and what this means for hiring temporary workers. Learn what you need to know, which steps you can already take and how Timing is preparing for the new rules.
What is the Wtta?
The Wet toelating terbeschikkingstelling van arbeidskrachten (Wtta) introduces new rules for organizations that provide temporary workers.
With this law, the government aims to further strengthen the quality, reliability, and transparency within the temporary work market. The law should also contribute to better protection of temporary workers and ensure that organizations providing temporary workers meet clear conditions.
The Wtta is expected to come into effect on January 1, 2027. From that moment, organizations providing temporary workers must meet the new admission requirements.
What changes in the temporary work sector?
The Wtta introduces an admission system for organizations that provide temporary workers. They must soon be able to demonstrate that they meet the legal requirements.
To be admitted, lenders must demonstrate that they meet the conditions of the Wtta. This includes checking whether:
- the administration and business operations are in order;
- the applicable laws and regulations are complied with;
- the employment conditions of temporary workers are correctly applied;
- the processes and working methods meet the legal requirements.
The Nederlandse Autoriteit Uitleenmarkt (NAU) assesses whether organizations meet the admission requirements. Organizations that are admitted will be listed in a public register.
For organizations providing temporary workers, this means they must properly prepare their processes, systems, and administration.
What does the Wtta mean for your organization?
The Wtta not only affects organizations providing temporary workers. As a client, you will also have to deal with the new rules when you employ temporary workers through a temporary partner.
From January 1, 2028, as a client, you may only hire temporary workers from organizations that are admitted according to the new rules. Therefore, it is important to have insight into the temporary partners you work with and the admission status of these partners.
What is Timing doing in this regard?
Timing is already fully preparing for the Wtta. We are reviewing our processes, systems, and agreements and adjusting them where necessary.
An important part of this is the processing of hours, allowances, and overtime. For this, our clients' data must be accurate and up-to-date.
Therefore, we check per client which data is known to us. We look at the collective labor agreement, working hours, allowances, overtime, and the clock hours matrix, among other things.
We ask our clients to check this data and report any changes to us. This way, we can properly prepare our processes and together ensure the correct processing of the hours and employment conditions of temporary workers.
Webinar on new laws and regulations
The Wtta does not stand alone. In the coming years, more changes will occur in the field of laws and regulations within the temporary work sector.
On September 8, Timing organized a webinar on the new labor laws and regulations. Among other things, the Wtta was discussed. Other important developments were also addressed, such as the Wet Meer Zekerheid Flexwerkers and the Wet Loontransparantie.
