In the Netherlands, we can expect some changes in the labour law
landscape. Recently, five important political parties reached an
agreement, the so-called Spring Agreement (in Dutch: "Lente
Akkoord"), on possible future changes with respect to, amongst
others, employment termination law, the pension age and travel
costs. These proposals could bring about that many companies could
be confronted with wage costs increases in 2013 and beyond. It is
uncertain if these changes will eventually be implemented. The
Dutch government fell and new elections took place on 12 September
2012. Nevertheless, the Spring Agreement could be an indication of
the changes we can expect in the near future. In this article, we
will discuss possible future changes.
