Temporary employment agencies earned billions on the backs of temporary staff.

Did you ever work as a temporary worker between 2011 and 2026? Then there is a very high chance that you were underpaid, and that is in violation of European rules. Claim back your lost income now!

In total, victims missed out on tens of billions of euros, and so we (Corpocon Legal BV) have now set up a class action lawsuit. What exactly happened?

The temporary employment agency collective labor agreement, under which most temporary workers fall, allowed them for years to earn an average of 13 percent less than permanent employees. This has only been rectified starting in 2026, causing millions of people to miss out on income for fourteen years—amounting to tens of billions of euros in theft!

Equal pay

Right to equal pay as permanent employees

Don't wait too long

Wage claims become time-barred after a period of 5 years.

There is good news for the affected temporary workers!

Until 2026, temporary agency workers in the Netherlands were structurally paid less than permanent employees. In 2022, the European Court of Justice ruled that the principle of equal pay also applies to collective labour agreements for the temporary employment sector. Despite warnings from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment, the temporary employment sector failed to amend the agreement for years. Minister Hans Vijlbrief even stated that the industry was not complying with the rules. As a result, many temporary agency workers are entitled to back payment of wages, allowances, and other compensation. Do not wait too long: wage claims usually expire after five years. Therefore, register now for the mass claim free of charge.

Fictitious example case: K. Mensah worked for years through a temporary employment agency, averaging 32 hours per week. In retrospect, it turns out that he received €2 per hour less in wages compared to permanent colleagues doing the same work. For Kwame, this means a lost income of at least €3,300 per year, excluding allowances, holiday pay, and other reimbursements. Over several years, this amount can therefore add up significantly.

K. Mensha (38) uit Rotterdam

K. Mensah (38) from Rotterdam worked for years as a logistics employee through an employment agency and possibly received structurally lower wages than colleagues in permanent employment. For Kwame, this meant not only a lower monthly salary, but also less financial room to save, cover unexpected costs and realize plans for the future.

In addition to lost wages, Kwame may also be entitled to:

• holiday pay
• shift allowances
• overtime pay
• pension disadvantage
• and statutory interest

regarding amounts that have not been paid out for years. As a result, his total compensation could turn out to be significantly higher than just the back wages. For Mensah, the financial damage over several years could amount to a substantial sum. Therefore, he is joining the class action lawsuit to still receive what he may be entitled to.
