7 certainties of FHS

We offer you a guaranteed minimum of 36 working hours per week. This means that if we cannot offer you work, you will still be paid for 36 hours! This is based on an average over a period of 4 weeks. In other words, it is calculated whether you have been offered a minimum of 144 hours of work in a period of 4 weeks. If this is not the case, we will supplement these hours with guaranteed hours. However, if you refuse offered work yourself, you are not entitled to the guaranteed working hours during that period.

We arrange transportation for you from home to work and back. We do not charge any costs for this! The transportation consists of a bicycle, electric bicycle, car, bus, or coach. You can even earn money if you are deployed as a driver, with which you can earn up to €100 net per week extra. On our online application form, you can indicate that you are available as a driver. You can of course also choose to use your own car, these costs are at your own expense.

We want to be a good employer and like to retain good employees! That is why, if both parties are fully satisfied, we offer you a permanent contract after only 52 weeks of work. Some agencies in the Netherlands tend to terminate the contract with their temporary workers after six months or, at the latest, after two years. They do this because otherwise they would have higher costs.’ We do NOT do this! We like to retain good and motivated employees and are therefore happy to extend your contract. That is why we are happy to offer you a permanent contract after only 52 weeks of work!

Healthcare in the Netherlands works very differently from what you may be used to in your home country. Our social guidance team can show you around the healthcare system in the Netherlands. They can also help you make an appointment with the doctor, the hospital and other health care providers. They also offer a listening ear and can help you with other matters. During office hours, you can make appointments for their help. If required, they can translate during meetings with doctors and take you to appointments when they are available. They are also available 24 hours a day for when you need urgent medical assistance. We do this as an extra service for you and do not charge anything for the help of Social Guidance.
