| This project examines the use of the 1999 Flexibility andSecurity Law by investigating how employers, temporary work agenciesand trade unions have responded to the new incentive structure set upby the law. The F&S law tries to promote flexibility through aredistribution of risks between employers, agencies and employees,allowing deviation from the law by collective agreement ('mandated law' or driekwartbindend recht). Beyond the insight in the phenomenonof agency work, employment contracting and labour market flexibility,the project contributes to the study of the institutions andbehaviour, a key issue in law, sociology and economics. |
