Do you work for a Dutch employer? Then you also get pay slips in Dutch, but what do these words mean? It seems like acrabradabra. We explain part of the pay slip in this video.
What are reservations?
When you work for BAM Works there comes a time to say farewell. The season is ending, your contact ended and now you are ready to move on. At the start of your contract you have paid reservations. This could be for the use of a room, a bike, a company car or all of the above. These reservations are paid, so, that if something goes wrong you don't have to pay it after the fact. But if nothing went wrong you will get all of it back in the 5th week you contract has ended.
