The Senate has approved the new licensing system for temporary employment agencies: the Act on the Licensing of the Provision of Workers (Wtta). This is an important step toward improving quality and reliability within the temporary employment sector. But what exactly does this law entail? And more importantly: what does it mean for you as a client or temporary worker?

At Flexspecialisten , we Flexspecialisten this trend as an opportunity. It confirms the direction we’ve been taking for years: working with transparency and boundless flexibility, where people truly come first.

What does the admission system (Wtta) entail?

Starting January 1, 2027, staffing agencies will only be allowed to operate if they have official authorization. The government’s goal is to improve the quality of staffing agencies, prevent abuses, and make the labor market fairer.

The key provisions of the Wtta:

  • A mandatory set of standards for lenders, with clear quality requirements.
  • A security deposit of €50,000 to €100,000 that staffing agencies are required to maintain.
  • Enforcement by the Dutch Labor Inspectorate, which will begin strict enforcement starting in 2028.
  • The obligation for lenders to be fully compliant in financial, organizational, and legal terms.

In short: the bar is being raised. And that’s good news.

What does the Wtta mean for clients?

For clients, the licensing system primarily provides clarity and certainty. Going forward, you will only work with staffing agencies that can demonstrate compliance with strict quality standards.

1. Fewer risks, greater reliability

With strict admission criteria, the risk of financial or legal problems is reduced. You can be sure that the partner you’re working with is reliable, transparent, and future-proof.

2. A safer and more professional temporary workforce

The Wtta ensures that temporary workers are treated fairly and that processes related to compensation, contracts, and housing are handled properly. This directly reflects positively on your organization.

3. Partnerships with forward-thinking agencies

In a constantly changing market, you want a partner who adapts with you. For years, Flexspecialisten clients stay smart, agile, and compliant. We’ll continue to build on that in the years ahead.

What does the Wtta mean for temporary workers?

The new law also brings benefits for temporary workers.
They can count on:

  • Greater certainty and transparency
  • Reliable employers who have their affairs in order
  • A safe, fair, and professional work environment

Flexspecialisten already Flexspecialisten according to these principles. The Wtta gives us the flexibility to reinforce this even further.
