De drie rijbanen van de Commissie Borstlap Naar een nieuw, werkbaar evenwicht tussen bescherming, ordening én ruimte voor ondernemerschap!

In its advise to the Dutch government of 23 January 2020, the 'Borstlap' Committee calls for a new draft of the rules on work to contribute to agility, clarity, resilience and reciprocity. The committee recommends the workforce itself should be divided into three sorts of employee – self-employed, workers with a traditional contract, and short-term staffing agency employees – and that everyone in work should have the same basic rights and obligations. In this article, Committee member Johan Zwemmer explains the committee's advice to arrive at these three sorts of employee - 'driving lanes' - on the basis of which work can be done and not to make qualification of the employee or worker in one of these three lanes dependent on the contractual agreements made, but on the way in which the work is actually carried out.
