WW Obligations in Westland: What Must You Do to Retain Your Benefit?
In Westland, with its thriving greenhouse horticulture and greenhouse complexes, during a WW benefit you are obliged to actively seek work, such as at local nurseries or growers in 's-Gravenzande and Naaldwijk, and to keep the UWV informed. Non-compliance can lead to sanctions, such as reduction or termination. This article discusses obligations, tips for Westland job seekers and common mistakes in the region.
The Application Obligation in Westland
You must carry out at least 4 application actions per month, for example on vacancies at Westland flower exporters or AGF companies, and register these in the UWV app or website. Keep proof such as emails from growers in Monster or rejections from Poeldijk employers. The UWV checks via random samples, often focused on seasonal work in horticulture.
Weekly Reporting from Westland
Every 4 weeks you must submit a progress report via 'Mijn UWV'. Report whether you worked in the greenhouses, were ill due to physical work or had other income from side jobs at Westland cooperatives. Failure to report leads to wage sanctions, extra painful in a region with fluctuating harvest seasons.
Acceptance of Suitable Work in the Region
Accepting suitable work is mandatory, such as sorting in Naaldwijk or logistics in Honselersdijk. First 3 months: at least 90% of your old salary. Thereafter requirements decrease. Refusing jobs at local greenhouse horticulture results in sanctions up to 100% reduction.
Sanctions and Objection in Westland
In case of violation, a warning or sanction follows. Lodge an objection within 4 weeks; engage a jurist in Westland for assistance, for example via the Juridisch Loket in Den Haag or local advisors. (248 words)
