ABU cao 2026: How Uitzendbureau Flexibel is prepared
Thursday 22 January 2026
The temporary employment sector is changing. As of January 1, 2026, the new ABU collective labor agreement (cao) will come into effect.
The most important change is clear: Equal employment conditions for temporary workers from day one.
This is a positive step forward.
At the same time, it requires preparation, clarity, and careful execution.
At Uitzendbureau Flexibel, we embrace this change.
Just as you plan a route before departure, we make sure everything is properly arranged in advance.
What changes with the ABU cao in 2026?
The new ABU cao has a broad impact.
Not only on contracts, but on the entire structure of temporary employment processes.
Key changes include:
- Equal employment conditions for temporary workers from day one
- More complex collective labor agreements and remuneration systems
- Increased administrative obligations regarding payroll and reporting
You can read more about these changes on the official ABU website.
Without proper structuring, uncertainty quickly arises. That is why control is essential.
