OPROEPKRACHT Meaning and
Definition
-
"Oproepkracht" is a Dutch compound word derived from the words "oproep" meaning "call" or "summons," and "kracht" meaning "force" or "power." It refers to an employment arrangement commonly found in the Netherlands and Belgium, where individuals are hired as flexible or on-call workers, often in low-skilled or part-time roles.
An "oproepkracht" is typically employed by an organization or company to work on an as-needed basis. The worker does not have a fixed schedule and is instead called upon or summoned when their services are required. This can be for short-term projects, to cover staff shortages, or for irregular work hours. Oproepkrachten are not guaranteed a set number of working hours or a regular income; their working hours and pay can vary depending on the demand from the employer.
Employers often benefit from this arrangement as it allows for a more flexible workforce, adjusting the number of workers based on fluctuating business needs without incurring high costs. However, oproepkrachten may face uncertainty in terms of income, job security, and employment rights compared to employees with fixed contracts.
The use of oproepkracht contracts is governed by specific legal regulations in the Netherlands and Belgium to ensure workers' rights. These regulations aim to provide oproepkrachten with certain protections, such as minimum wage guarantees, limits on the use of zero-hour contracts, and the right to decline work if they are given short notice.
