This means that you are entitled to the same benefits as someone who is a permanent employee and does the same work. Think about wages, allowances, expenses, salary increases and reduced working hours.

You are in phase A if you have not yet worked for us for more than 78 weeks. Each week you work (regardless of the number of hours) counts towards the accumulation of those 78 weeks. Any week you do not work does not.

In phase A, you may get an unlimited number of contracts and work for different clients. This means that if there is no work, you will not receive any pay.

If you do not work for six months in a row (26 weeks), you start over again in the first week of phase A.

Have you worked 78 weeks and are you continuing to work via PDZ? Then you will move to phase B. Phase B lasts a maximum of four years (48 months). In this period we can offer you up to six fixed-term contracts and you can work for different clients.

If you do not work for PDZ for more than six months (26 weeks) in a row, you will start again in the first week of phase A. In phase B we continue to pay your wage if there is no work. This concerns the minimum number of hours in your agreement. You must be available to work.

In phase C, you will be given a permanent contract, in which you can be placed with various clients. Just as in phase B, in this phase too you are entitled to continued payment of wages if there is no work.

If you terminate the contract yourself or have not worked for longer than 26 weeks through PDZ, you will start again in the first week of phase A.

A temporary employment contract is the employment contract you enter into with PDZ. On the basis of this contract you can work for various PDZ clients.

You can have a contract in phase A, B or C. At "What is Phase A," "What is Phase B," and "What is Phase C," you can read more about what these contracts entail.
