The clock is ticking for the flex market: anyone who hasn’t started with the Wtta yet is falling behind
Starting in January 2027, the flex market will undergo radical changes. All companies in the Netherlands that hire out or borrow workers will then be subject to a new licensing system that extends far beyond traditional staffing agencies. Yet many organizations still believe that the Act on the Authorization for the Provision of Workers (Wtta) does not affect them, or that there is still plenty of time. That line of thinking is dangerous. Especially in combination with the recently enacted Act on Greater Security for Flexible Workers, a tipping point is emerging: organizations need to know now whether they fall under the Wtta, what obligations they will face, and how they can get their processes in order in a timely manner. Those who wait until the law actually takes effect run the risk of having to rush to fix—under significant time pressure—what should have been put in place today.
