The Dutch government is continuing its push to strengthen protections for flexible workers. New amendments to the proposed More Security for Flexible Workers Act would further restrict the use of flexible labour arrangements and are expected to have significant implications for employers and hirers.
The protection of flexible workers has remained a key political priority in the Netherlands for several years. On 12 May 2026, the Dutch House of Representatives adopted the proposed More Security for Flexible Workers Act, including a series of amendments aimed at further strengthening workers’ rights. If enacted, these changes are expected to have a significant impact on employers’ use of flexible labour arrangements.
