Inlenersbeloning is the pay rule in the CAO voor Uitzendkrachten and the Wet WAADI that requires agency workers to be paid in line with the hirer's own collective or company-level pay structure for equivalent work. It covers the applicable scale wage, periodic increments, allowances for shifts and overtime, expense reimbursements, and paid leave for short absences.
The rule applies from the first day of the assignment. Agencies must obtain the hirer's pay scale, classify the worker correctly, and reflect all mandatory elements on the payslip. Incorrect classification is one of the most common findings in SNCU enforcement cases.
For hirers, inlenersbeloning means that using an agency does not produce a wage discount. It also shifts compliance burden: the hirer is expected to provide correct scale information, and missing or incorrect data exposes both parties to back-pay claims.
