Employees would report sick for two years without reason. Nonsense, this complaint. If an employee is sick, it can be controlled by the health and safety doctor. His advice is decisive. The complaint also forgets that, when the Sickness Benefits Act was abolished, the employers had a premium advantage. They can insure themselves with that released premium.

The idea that a permanent contract cannot be terminated is nonsense. If there are objective reasons, dismissal can be requested. That application is then tested for the UWV. Incidentally, an employment contract can also be terminated with a settlement agreement. The condition is that the employee agrees. The abuse of labor migrants and Dutch people must stop due to rogue employment agencies. The attention must now be paid to that. Reduce the legal temporary employment permit and increase the fines (requested by the Labor Inspectorate), so that abuse is no longer rewarding.
