Terms and conditions

This is a translation of the Dutch version. If the two versions differ, the Dutch version prevails.

Article 4. Duration and termination

1. An assignment is entered into for a fixed or an indefinite period.
2. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the client may terminate an assignment for an indefinite period, or reduce the number of temporary workers, with at least one working day's notice.
3. Termination of the assignment does not affect the client's obligations for hours already worked.

Article 5. Direction and supervision

1. The temporary worker works under the direction and supervision of the client, who gives the work instructions.
2. The client deploys the temporary worker only for the agreed work at the agreed location, and does not make the temporary worker available to third parties.

2. Before work begins, the client informs the temporary worker of the risks involved and provides the necessary personal protective equipment and instructions.
3. The client reports any occupational accident or occupational disease involving a temporary worker to WEDO Flex immediately and, where required by law, to the Netherlands Labour Authority.

Article 7. Terms of employment of the temporary worker

1. WEDO Flex is a member of the ABU (Dutch Association of Temporary Work Agencies) and applies the ABU Collective Labour Agreement (CLA) for Temporary Agency Workers.
2. The client informs WEDO Flex promptly and fully of the pay and other terms of employment that apply to comparable employees within its organisation, and of any changes to them, so that WEDO Flex can pay the temporary worker correctly.

Article 8. Hours and rate

1. The client pays only for the hours the temporary worker has actually worked, at the agreed hourly rate, plus any allowances and expenses due under the ABU CLA.
2. The client records the hours worked accurately and completely and approves them every week. If the client has not responded within two working days, the hours as submitted by the temporary worker apply.
3. WEDO Flex may adjust the rate if wages or statutory charges change, for example due to a pay rise under the ABU CLA or a change in contributions.

Article 9. Invoicing and payment

1. WEDO Flex invoices weekly on the basis of the approved hours.
2. The client pays within 14 days of the invoice date, without any set-off or suspension.
3. If payment is late, the client owes the statutory commercial interest and reasonable collection costs, without any notice of default being required.
4. The client may pay part of the invoice amount into WEDO Flex's G account (blocked account), thereby limiting its risk of hirer's liability for payroll taxes and VAT.
