The employee will receive their first week’s wage within a maximum of two weeks. Payments are made on Fridays. Sun-Power is not responsible for the duration of the bank transfer. The average transaction time within the Netherlands is one business day. Internationally, it is four business days.

Therefore, make sure that you have enough money with you for the first two weeks.

The arrival of new temporary employees is always confirmed by Sun-Power. Each temporary employee receives an email containing all necessary information regarding the residential address, work address and hourly wage. Accommodation is available from the specified arrival date as indicated by Sun-Power. Prior to this date, the temporary employee is not entitled to housing. The temporary employee is responsible for arranging transportation from their country of origin to the Netherlands.

Sun-Power cannot guarantee the number of working hours per week or the duration of work, partly due to the significant impact of weather conditions in the agriculture sector. We expect temporary employees to understand and accept that the nature of work may vary between clients and work locations.

Vacation or days off must be requested using a vacation request form. This form needs to be approved and signed by the client first. After that, you should bring it to the Sun-Power office. Sun-Power will review the form and inform the employee whether the vacation or days off have been approved.

When working under Dutch legislation, having a Dutch health insurance is mandatory. Sun-Power provides a basic insurance for its labor migrants. The cost for this in 2023 is €33,39 net per week. Temporary employees with their own insurance are obligated to submit an insurance certificate/healthcare card (copy).

At the request of the employee, Sun-Power arranges accommodation for the duration of the employment contract. Employees utilizing Sun-Power’s housing are required to adhere to the house rules and follow the provided instructions.

Sun-Power cannot guarantee the availability of rooms for couples, friends, and family. Housing costs in 2023 are €99.75 gross per week (includes a bed, storage space, use of the kitchen, access to internet and media). Payment for accommodation starts from the date of occupancy.

Every Friday, the pay slips for the previous work week of the temporary employees will be added to the flex portal. Due to privacy regulations (GDPR), these can no longer be sent via email. If you don’t have login credentials or encounter login issues, please email: planning@sun-power.nl.

If there are any questions regarding the salary, temporary employees can contact Sun-Power via email: uren@sun-power.nl.

Depending on the applicable collective labor agreement (CAO) and Sun-Power’s decision, employees may receive a reimbursement for transportation costs when using their own car. Employees with a Sun-Power-provided car are not eligible for transportation cost reimbursement.

Sun-Power will notify the temporary employee BY EMAIL about the client they have been placed with, the nature of the work they will be performing, the client’s address, start date, working hours, and any other necessary information. Therefore, please check your email every evening.

The temporary employee is expected to perform their duties diligently and with dedication. They must adhere to safety regulations and work instructions. Feedback or comments can be directly provided to the temporary employee by a supervisor or through Sun-Power’s office staff. Sun-Power expects collegiality, cooperation, and mutual respect among all individuals. If any unpleasant situations arise at work, the temporary employee can inform Sun-Power about them.

Due to health and safety regulations, every temporary employee is required to wear safety shoes while on the work floor. If the temporary employee already has safety shoes, they can bring them along. Safety shoes are also available at Sun-Power for €25. Temporary employees are responsible for providing their own work clothing. Only in exceptional cases and for specific types of work, the client or Sun-Power may provide clothing on loan.

For employees residing in our accommodations who do not have their own transportation, Sun-Power offers transportation services.

Employees living privately may be offered transportation in exceptional cases, subject to a deposit of €100, which will be deducted from the first or subsequent salary.

Employees are responsible for the assigned mode of transportation. More detailed rules can be found in the transportation regulations, which will be provided upon allocation of the transportation.

Sun-Power’s vehicles are equipped with GPS systems and may only be used on the designated route agreed upon with Sun-Power. Traffic fines are the responsibility of the driver and will be deducted from the salary. Parking spaces for the transportation vehicles are available at the accommodations.
