General conditions for the

provision of temporary workers as of 01-01-2023

 

Introduction and commentary

To specifically supplement from the applicable articles.

 

General

 

The general terms and conditions of Job Vision B.V. apply to the recruitment, selection and supply of workers and related services unless otherwise agreed and confirmed. These conditions are partly based on the General Terms and Conditions for the Supply of Temporary Employees of the ABU (Algemene Bond van Uitzendondernemingen).

Job Vision B.V. is a member of the ABU.

 

A (contract of) assignment exists between the client and Job Vision B.V., to which the general terms and conditions apply. The main subjects of the general terms and conditions are briefly explained below.

 

 

Recruitment and Selection

 

The recruitment and/or selection can be aimed at secondment/distribution of the candidate or direct employment of the candidate with your organization. This depends on your requirements.

 

In both cases Job Vision B.V. will make every effort to find you a suitable candidate in time, who will continue to work for you for the agreed period. Job Vision B.V. is an expert in this field and in this context does its utmost to meet the wishes of its clients, for example with regard to education, skills and availability, to the best of its ability. However, the labor market is too capricious to guarantee that this is always successful. In addition, Job Vision B.V. is dependent on the clients, the nature of the work and the wishes of the candidate. You decide for yourself whether you deploy a candidate presented by Job Vision B.V. on a temporary or secondment basis, or hire him/her yourself. Unless otherwise agreed and recorded.

 

If the recruitment and/or selection efforts of Job Vision B.V. lead to an employment relationship between you and the candidate, you will pay a one-time fee.

In case of secondment, the rate for recruitment and/or selection is included in the hourly rate you owe. For Job Vision B.V. to recoup its investments in recruitment, selection and binding of employees, it is necessary that the employee can actually be made available to you for some time afterwards. Therefore there is a minimum period of time before you can hire the employee yourself.

If you still want to hire the employee earlier, you can. You will pay a fee.

 

 

Staffing and Posting

 

Triangle

The content of these general conditions is largely due to the special nature of the agency relationship, which is substantially different, for example, from the supply of goods or the

 

hiring work. The employment relationship involves 3 parties: the client, the employee (temporary worker) and the employment agency. For a proper understanding of the relationship between all parties involved and the how and why of these general terms and conditions, the following is important. A temporary employment contract exists between the employee (temporary employee) and Job Vision B.V.. This is a special employment contract, whereby the employee (temporary worker) is placed at your disposal by Job Vision B.V. to perform work under your management and supervision. The employee (Temporary Employee) is therefore formally employed by Job Vision B.V. This makes Job Vision B.V. the legal employer for the employee (Temporary Employee). The employee works on the basis of a temporary employment contract with an 'temporary employment clause', a fixed-term temporary employment contract or a permanent temporary employment contract. As long as the temporary employment clause applies, the temporary employment contract ends when the deployment ends. If the employee (temporary worker) is working on the basis of a temporary employment contract for a definite or indefinite period, the end of the temporary employment does not automatically mean the end of the agreement between the employee (temporary worker) and Job Vision B.V. This is usually referred to as 'secondment'. You will not find this term in the general terms and conditions. They are connected to the legal terminology ('temporary employment contract', 'posting'). The legal status and working conditions of the employee (temporary worker) are regulated in the (ABU) CLA for Temporary Workers. The core of this CLA is that the longer the employee works for the temporary employment agency, the more rights he accrues.

A (contract of) assignment exists between you and Job Vision B.V., on the basis of which an employee (temporary employee) is made available. No (employment) contract exists between the employee and you as client. However, the employee is actually working for you as the client (material employment). Management and supervision of the work therefore lie with you.

 

Exercise of management and supervision/liability.

Every employment agency is dependent on the client for, a number of (legal) obligations arising from its formal employer role. Consider, for example, the termination of the

posting 'at the request of the client', complying with the rules concerning working hours, providing information about the job and the remuneration scheme and providing the employee (temporary worker) with a so-called Health and Safety document. Job Vision B.V. must be able to count on your cooperation where necessary. As stated above, management and supervision of the (performance of the) work by the employee lie with you as the client.

Job Vision B.V. has no control over the work and the conditions under which it is performed. You are therefore responsible for the work and the working conditions. You are expected to instruct, supervise and treat an employee of Job Vision B.V. as well as your own employees. For example, the Working Conditions Act regulates that the client is considered the employer of the employees provided to him. As an extension of this responsibility, the client is also liable if damage occurs. We recommend checking your insurance policy on this and adjusting it if necessary.

The duration of the assignment

The length of the assignment will be coordinated with you as best we can. There are two options:

  • An assignment for a fixed period ('definite period'): this cannot be terminated prematurely, unless the employee (Temporary Employee) is working on the basis of a temporary employment contract with a temporary employment clause or it has been expressly agreed that premature termination is permitted;
  • An assignment for an as yet unknown period ("indefinite period"): it can always be terminated - subject to a notice period - unless it has been precisely agreed that this cannot be done during a certain period.

The notice period, depending on the service and the duration of the (extended) assignment, is 15 or 30 days. Recruitment and selection assignments are terminable immediately.

In all cases the assignment may be terminated if the other party is accountably not keeping to the agreements or is in power of payment (for example in case of bankruptcy). The assignment will also end if the employment relationship between Job Vision B.V. and the employee (temporary employee) ends, for example because the employee finds a job elsewhere.

Other services

 In conjunction with our services in the areas of recruitment, selection and staffing/secondment, Job Vision

B.V. can also provide additional services.

Planning

Upon request, Job Vision B.V. can also handle the scheduling of your flexible and even permanent staff.

Opinion

Sometimes you will receive - solicited or unsolicited - suggestions or tips from Job Vision B.V., for example with regard to the deployment of flexible personnel. If you want more extensive advice, we will make arrangements in writing. Tips and advice are meant to inform and support you in your operational management. You decide whether you follow the advice. But even if you do, we cannot guarantee that it will always achieve the result you intended. After all, this depends on several circumstances, which Job Vision B.V. cannot always influence.

Rates

 In temporary employment and secondment, the rate payable by you includes the cost of the temporary work (labor costs, payroll taxes, social contributions, etc.) and a margin.

The remuneration and other terms of employment of the employee (temporary employee) are determined in accordance with the (ABU) CLA for Temporary Employees and the law. Pursuant to that CLA, every employee is - in principle - entitled to the same remuneration (this, incidentally, only applies to the remuneration elements that are part of the so-called "hirer's remuneration". This consists on January 1, 2023 of the salary, periodic and general wage increases, possibly ATV, allowances, compensation for travel hours/travel time, one-time payments, expense allowances and fixed end-of-year benefits) as your own employees doing the same or similar work. In order to determine the correct remuneration, Job Vision B.V. depends on your information about the position, the applicable remuneration scheme and any wage increases. Based on that information, the rate will also be set or changed. As the (expected) costs of the temporary work may also increase during an assignment as a result of - for example - (periodic or general) wage increases, CAO amendments, changes in premiums or an increase in the expenses to be incurred by Job Vision B.V. and/or provisions to be made for training, sick leave and suchlike, Job Vision

B.V. will be entitled to implement rate amendments during the assignment as a result of such cost price increases. In case of recruitment and selection (aimed at an employment relationship between you and the candidate) a one-time fee will be charged. For planning, this is generally an hourly rate and for consulting, a rate per hour or day(s). Fees may be indexed annually in connection with an (expected) increase in overhead costs of operations. If certain cost reimbursements are charged to you, they will increase only if the relevant cost reimbursement actually increases.

Payment and billing

 In the case of temporary employment and secondment, payment and invoicing are made on the basis of the time sheets and the agreements made, in these terms and conditions and in the assignment confirmation/agreement, regarding the hours to be invoiced. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information contained therein. Generally, the time sheets are submitted digitally.

It is important that you check the timesheet/schedule no later than the Monday after the end of the working week to which this overview relates and correct it if necessary. If you fail to do so on time, we will assume that the timesheets offered are approved and will pay and invoice on a weekly basis. If Job Vision B.V. also takes care of the planning, we ask you to actively approve the realized planning - in good time. In order to keep the costs of pre-financing under control, Job Vision B.V. has a payment term of 14 days (unless otherwise agreed and laid down). A payment term of 14 days is also applied for recruitment and selection and other services (provided it has been agreed and recorded otherwise). For consultancy assignments in principle invoices are sent monthly in advance (an advance payment).

    • the other party is declared bankrupt or has filed for suspension of

If the temporary employment agency terminates on one of these grounds, the principal's conduct, on which the termination is based, implies the principal's request to terminate the posting. This does not result in any

End of posting
