Wet minimumloon en minimumvakantiebijslag

The Dutch minimum wage and minimum holiday allowance act sets the statutory minimum wage that employers in the Netherlands must pay, along with the minimum holiday allowance (vakantiebijslag) that employees are entitled to. It also provides for the minimum wage to be adjusted periodically through indexation, which is set out in a regulation published under the act.
