Platform Work: Your Rights After the Deliveroo Ruling
Do you work for Uber, Deliveroo, or Thuisbezorgd? The Dutch Supreme Court ruled in 2023 that platform workers are employees, not self-employed contractors.
What Does This Mean for You?
- Right to minimum wage and holiday pay
- Protection against unfair dismissal
- Continued payment during illness
- Pension contributions
How Is Employment Determined?
The court examines:
- Authority: Does the platform set rates and routes?
- Integration: Is your work core to the platform?
- Dependency: Can you build your own client base?
Claiming Back Pay
If you were wrongly classified as self-employed, you can claim up to 5 years of back pay, holiday allowance, and pension contributions.
