Under the law adopted on 28 March, legislation on the minimum wage and paid leave has been extended to apply to workers employed under a service provision contract. The change comes after another reform to this same regulation, which gradually lowers the age of eligibility for the adult minimum wage and changes rules on shift work.
The service provision contract (overeenkomsten van opdracht, or Ovo) is governed by article 7:400 of the Dutch civil code, and differs from the freelance contract which is also legislated for in the country.
