Wet arbeidsvoorwaarden gedetacheerde werknemers in de Europese Unie
Repeals the Terms of Employment Cross-Border Work Act (Waga). Implements the Posting of workers Directive (96/71/EC) and the Enforcement Directive (2014/67/EU). Employers from other EU countries who temporarily come to the Netherlands with personnel to perform a job (posting) are subject to the WagwEU.

Employers are obliged to assign certain minimum terms of employment to the personnel that comes to the Netherlands to work temporarily. The so-called hard core of the terms of employment always consists of the following Dutch labour laws: the Minimum Wage and Minimum Holiday Allowance Act, the Working Hours Act, the Working Conditions Act, the Placement of Personnel by Intermediaries Act (Waadi) and the Equal Treatment Act.
