For employed shifts, a collective labour agreement (CAO) is determined for each company and role.

For freelance shifts, a collective labour agreement (CAO) never applies, as you work as a freelancer rather than in an employment relationship.

What is a CAO?

A CAO is a set of agreements between employers and employees about working conditions. It outlines the rules and conditions that apply to your specific job, including salary, working hours, and other important terms.

It ensures everyone understands their rights and responsibilities at work. CAOs help create fair working conditions and protect both employees and employers.

Find your CAO

Your specific CAO is shown on the shift page and in your contract, but you can also view all relevant CAOs via this government link: Collectieve Arbeidsovereenkomsten
