In some cases, your employer arranges transport from your home to work and back. If your boss arranges this, you will be picked up from home to go to work and will brought back home when your work is finished. This might be in a van or bus, for example.
If your boss has found housing for you, your boss probably also arranges transport to work. In many cases, your boss arranges transport to work even if you work through an employment agency or do temporary work. For example, you might travel with colleagues in a van. You will be picked up near your home and brought back home when your work is finished.
In some cases, you do not pay anything for transport arranged by your employer. Sometimes you pay part of the cost, such as an amount for each day or kilometre. Your boss can deduct this amount from your wages. This is only allowed if you clearly agree to it and you also still receive at least the minimum wage after the deduction. If you are not sure, ask your employment agency or your boss. You can also contact Het Juridisch Loket.
If you earn the minimum wage, your boss must not deduct any travel costs from your wages. Part of the costs can be deducted if you earn more than the minimum wage and you also agree to this in writing. If you are not sure, check this with your boss or ask Het Juridisch Loket.
If you have to work longer than scheduled, we call this overtime. If you work overtime, you might not be able to travel with the transport arranged by your boss. This might also happen if you do not have fixed working hours. Talk to your boss about how you will go home in that case. For example, you might take public transport.
It is up to you how you travel to work. You do not have to use the transport arranged by your boss. In that case, you will travel independently. Make sure you tell your employer.
