Is it possible to work in a system?

Yes! It is possible to work in a system, this is in consultation with Transport People and your employer. However, if you prefer not to work in a system, this is also totally okay. We would like to meet your preferences. 

Do I get paid on public holidays?

You accrue your worked hours, of the public holidays, upon your overtime hours. This build-up can be found on your pay check under 'rights'. We look at the day which the public holiday is on and the average amount of hours that you worked on this day, the last 13 weeks. This is the amount that you will get paid. But be aware! This compensation applies until maximum of 8 hours per day. Do you not work normally on the day which the public holiday is on? Then you will not receive any public holiday compensation. Your wage reservation remains until the next public holiday. 

When do I get my wage reserves paid when I stopped working?

You will receive the amount of your wage reserves six weeks after you stopped working with us. 

When do I build up pension?

The pension scheme starts if you are 21 years or older and if you work at least 8 weeks for Transport People.

What is the difference between normal hours and overtime hours?

You accrue holiday days and holiday pay over your normal hours. The amount of normal hours are the hours which are in your CAO of your employer. Do you work more than these set hours? This will count as overtime. You do not accrue holiday days or holiday pay over your overtime hours. 

For example: The CAO mentions that 40 hours per week are your normal hours. Do you work more than these 40 hours? Above the 40 hours per week, you will receive 130% overtime pay. You worked from Monday until Friday 43 hours. This indicates that 3 hours will be 130% overtime pay.

How do I take my holiday days?

After discussion and approval of your manager of the workplace you send a request to uren@transportpeople.nl. State in this mail which days you want to take off and how many holiday hours you want to take. Our payroll administration will then process your request. You can find your balance under 'rights' on your pay check. 

Where can I find my amount of worked hours?

All worked hours are stated on your pay check. Here you can find normal hours, overtime hours and irregular hours. 

Also, any compensations are stated on your pay check. Under 'rights' you can find all accrued reservations, such as holiday days, holiday pay, etcetera.

 

What should I do if the work stops at my employer?

If the work stops at your employer, then you should report this to your contact person of Transport People. He/she will do everything in order to find you a new job. 

Who can I contact for questions/concerns about 'Arbo' matters and/or safety in the workplace?

I received an 'Arbo-document', should I adhere to this?

Yes, it is important that you follow the guidelines of the 'Arbo-document' at all times. The document is specifically focused on the work situation at your employer. Safety in the workplace is very important to us.
