Example Rate
Richard is foreman at a company in the construction sector. He needs extra professionals for the last months of the year and the upcoming holidays. It is difficult to get so many professionals in the short term, so Richard decides to request information for a carpenter at Bouw Support Nederland.
The organization where Richard works has its own collective labor agreement. The gross hourly wages and allowances for carpenters are included in this collective labor agreement. According to their collective labor agreement, the gross hourly wage for a full-time carpenter is € 12.56 per hour. Richard can hire carpenters at a conversion factor of 2.4 via Bouw Support Nederland.
After approval, Richard will be presented with professionals without obligation by Bouw Support Nederland. Richard decides to hire all proposed craftsmen immediately. The broadcasting rate from Bouw Support Nederland then becomes € 12.56 * 2.4 = € 30.14 per hour excluding 21% VAT. This rate includes all employer contributions, premiums, taxes and employee reservations for holidays.
Richard hires all craftsmen for eight weeks. However, the work was completed earlier than expected. Of course that is no problem. The temporary employment contract states that the hiring of professionals may be terminated as soon as the agreed work has been completed.
Is staff through our employment agency more expensive than hiring yourself?
If you hire an employee yourself, the costs are the gross hourly wage plus the employer’s costs (35%), holiday pay and vacation days (18%). In addition, the costs for payroll administration, recruitment and selection and the risk you run in the event of illness, absence or leave.
Hiring someone yourself therefore costs approximately the gross hourly wage plus 75%. A temporary worker will cost you the gross hourly wage plus 90% to 100%.
Conclusion: Due to the additional costs mentioned above, a temporary worker is generally not much more expensive than if you hire someone yourself.
