The House of Representatives has it Kent amendment accepted. This means that €40 million has become available for the year 2025 to compensate employees of social development companies for the adverse consequences of tax measures from the Tax Plan 2025. Municipalities are asked to enable their social development companies to pay out this compensation this year.
Execution
Simplicity is guiding in the implementation of the amendment. This means that all employees who are employed by a social development company and fall under the Collective Labor Agreement for Social Employment or the Collective Labor Agreement Aan de Slag receive compensation. The amount of compensation is the same for every employee. This does not depend on the salary, the working hours or the moment at which someone was employed.
For 2025, the compensation amounts to €504 gross per person. This is €42 per month. Social development companies will pay this out to their employees.
Budget per municipality transparent
The €40 million will be paid out to municipalities in December circular 2025. To prevent each municipality from having to make separate agreements about this with its social development company, the budget is allocated to the largest municipality with a social development company. For the purpose of distribution, a request was made to social development companies and a number of municipalities. This question concerned the number of employees employed on September 1, 2025.
