What does this act entail?<\/span><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Under the bill on Supervision of Equal Opportunities in Recruitment and Selection, companies with at least 25 employees will be required to have a <u class=\"ac-designer-copy\">written<\/u> recruitment and selection policy including measures to prevent discrimination. If there are shortcomings in this policy, you as an employer may face a warning, or even a fine imposed, from the Dutch Labour Inspectorate.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Intermediaries (such as staffing agencies) must also, under certain conditions, report a discriminatory recruitment and selection request from a client to the Labour Inspectorate. Following such a report, the Labour Inspectorate can check the client&#8217;s working method for its recruitment and selection policy.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>It now remains to be seen how this bill will be dealt with by the Senate. The act is expected to enter into force around mid-2024. Please note: after that, organisations will be given a <u class=\"ac-designer-copy\">period of 1 to 2 years<\/u> to comply with the new rules.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>On 14 September 2023, The Legal Company will hold a masterclass focused on discrimination in the workplace and the risks that flow from it.
