Position of self-employed persons to be clearer

What changes?

Do you work as a self-employed professional (zzp’er) or do you contract self-employed professionals? The rules for working with employees and self-employed professionals will become more clear. In future you will know sooner whether a self-employed person is allowed to do a job or if an employee should do it.

Currently sometimes (forced) false self-employment, or unfair competition on employment conditions can occur because the law is not always clear.

Self-employed professionals will also get support in claiming an employment contract, if they want to.

For whom?

• entrepreneurs who hire self-employed professionals
• self-employed professionals

When?
