      Why do rates vary by age in the Netherlands?
      <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      In the Netherlands, the so-called. age<\/strong>. This means that the statutory minimum wage depends on the age of the employee. The younger the person, the lower the legal minimum wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • a person 21+ has the full minimum wage,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • 18-20 year olds have a percentage of this rate,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Even younger workers have correspondingly lower rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        This system applies throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        How do we do this at Efficient at Work?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        At Efficient at Work<\/strong> we don't use the lid in practice<\/strong>.
        We do not reduce rates on the basis of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If someone is working in the same position and doing the same job, receives the same hourly rate<\/strong>, whether he is 19, 25 or 40 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • equal pay for the same work,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • clear rules,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Transparent payouts and specific rates from the start.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          This ensures that our employees know exactly how much they will earn and under what conditions they are working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
