What we stand for

Equal work. Equal pay.

Hundreds of thousands of Dutch people have been shortchanged. For years, temporary workers and contractors have been paid less than their permanent colleagues for exactly the same work. This inequality is not only unfair, but also contrary to fundamental labor rights.

Fair Work Foundation wants to make these practices visible and reparable. We stand for transparency, equality and fair compensation for everyone who works. With the support of specialized employment law specialists and independent experts, we fight for your rights.

We believe that work should count. For everyone. No hidden agendas, no complicated structures, but simply: equal pay for equal work.

  • 5 years

    That is how far back a pay gap can still be put right.

  • €1,000s

    The difference often adds up to thousands of euros per year.

  • Everything

    Pension, bonuses, days of leave and expense allowances all count.

Together we are stronger.

Even if you are not sure whether this applies to you, you can sign up. We will look at your situation together and help you further. On an individual basis, or as part of a collective action for a group of people in a similar position. In a collective action we will, where necessary, also use the options offered by the Dutch Act on Collective Damages Actions (“WAMCA”).

This is about you.
