2014/22 How to compensate part-timer for lacking company car (NL)

Employees of CBR with a workload of 80% or over are eligible for a company car. The plaintiff was a 40% part-time employee and was not eligible for a company car. Instead he received financial compensation. The compensation was designed to represent 40% of the value of the company car benefit for a full-time (80-100%) employee. The Human Rights Commission found that 40% was not enough. The plaintiff should have received 50%, being half of the value of the use of a company car by an 80% employee.

2014/10 All-in wages for small part-timers not prohibited (NL)

The defendant in this case stopped paying its “small” part-time employees (those with contracts not exceeding 12 hours per week) their salary during paid annual leave, instead of paying them a higher “all-in” (or “rolled up”) hourly wage. Two unions challenged this change as being at odds with the law, but the court found in favour of the defendant.
