An example is unfair competition for Dutch workers or the fact that foreign workers sometimes face abuse. Unjust Competition and Repression Foreign employees are often less expensive to employ than Dutch workers. This may lead to competition distortion. Dutch workers could therefore lose their jobs. In the rule, foreign self-employed workers will also work for a lower rate than their Dutch colleagues. Foreign Employee Abuse Some employers abuse foreign employees. Examples of this abuse are: * Paying foreign workers less than the legal minimum wage; * Ignoring the Collective Labour Agreements; * Not paying employee insurance premiums. Relatively speaking, there are many foreign workers employed in the agricultural, building and service sectors. This was made clear by investigations performed by the Social Affairs and Employment Inspection. Battling Illegal labour In its battle against illegal labour, the government has increased the fines and probability of detection. Furthermore, the judicial procedures have been simplified. The most important measures taken in the battle against illegal labour are: * Higher fines A private person hiring an illegal foreign worker, risks receiving a € 4000 fine. A business hiring illegal foreign staff, risks a fine of € 8000. If the Labour Inspection ascertains another violation within 24 months, then the fine is increased by 50 percent. The SZW inspection may issue fines without intervention of the Public Prosecution’s Office. * Hold accountable Businesses hiring workers through non-certified employment agencies, may be held accountable, should the temporary employee receive less than the minimum wage. The temporary worker will be able to claim extra wages up to the minimum wage afterwards. The Labour Standardisation Institute (Stichting Normering Arbeid SNA) certifies employment agencies. * Battling abuse and fraud The cabinet is taking measures against the abuse and fraud in the skilled migrant programme. The Immigration and Naturalisation Service may for instance, refuse a residence permit application if the wages are disproportionately high for the position. Furthermore, the government wants to increase the fine for businesses breaking the law repeatedly considerately. Should companies persist in breaking the law, then they will be shut down. This is stated in the Law for ‘reinforcing and preservation of the SZW legislation’. The law has been in place since 1 January 2013. Moreover, whether or not the UWV will be able to deny employers their permits if their companies keep breaking the law is still under investigation. 24263 views No reactions React Print Mail a friend React Your name:* ____________________ Your e-mail address:* ____________________ Your website: http://_____________ Subject:* ____________________ Send further reactions to my e-mail [ ] Please enter the security code exactly as shown: CAPTCHA Image Reload captcha Play captcha Code:* ____________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ Submit reaction More Services * OUT-PLACEMENT * CV & LINKEDIN SUPPORT * JOB INTERVIEW TRAINING * WORKSHOPS * CAREER COACHES * CV TEMPLATES * HEAD HUNTERS SEARCH FOR JOBS Check all the MBA programs at Nyenrode Business University CHECK OUR WORKSHOPS Linda is a professional with whom you’ll have the right click from the start.
