Contracts in the Netherlands include temporary contracts and permanent contracts. A temporary contract ends on a fixed date, which is specified in your contract. A permanent contract has no end date. There are also on-call contracts, such as zero-hours contracts and min-max contracts.
It is a good idea to have the contract in writing so that everything is clear. Your employer must give you written information about the most important matters agreed in your contract. Examples include your wages, the type of contract and whether you build up a pension. If you are not given this information, you can ask for it.
A temporary contract is a contract of employment for a fixed period of time, such as six months or one year. After this period, the contract ends automatically. However, your employer must let you know in time whether the contract will be extended. If your employer does not do this, it must pay you compensation.
A permanent contract is a contract of employment for an indefinite period of time. This means the contract continues until you or your employer terminates it. This gives you more security when it comes to your job and your income.
With a zero-hours contract, you only work when your employer asks you to. You do not have a fixed number of hours per week. You only get paid for the hours you work.
