Your hourly wage can differ per Temper Staff shift. The hiring company sets the base wage for each shift according to the applicable CAO (collective labour agreement) and the minimum wage rules.
The amount you see on the shift page is the gross wage (before tax) and an estimate of what you’ll earn. This may differ slightly in the end, for example if you work longer or qualify for an additional allowance.
What’s included in the amount you see on the shift page?
Base wage: This can vary per shift. The hiring company sets the rate based on the CAO for their sector and the minimum wage requirements.
Holiday pay and holiday hours: For every hour you work, you build up holiday pay (8.33%) and holiday hours. These are paid out directly and therefore included in the hourly wage shown on the shift page. They are listed separately in your contract and on your payslip.
Allowances for irregular hours: If you work on weekends, at night, or on a public holiday, additional allowances may apply. If so, these are already included in the amount shown on the shift page. You can read more about allowances in this article.
What could be added later?
Travel allowance: Depending on the CAO, you may receive a travel expense reimbursement.
Allowances we couldn’t calculate upfront: Most allowances are known in advance, like working on a public holiday. But sometimes things change, for example if you work overtime and because of that the work takes place partly at night which makes you eligible for an extra allowance.
Bonuses: Some shifts or companies offer bonuses.
What will be deducted?
Tax: The hourly rates shown for Temper Staff shifts are gross amounts. This means income tax will still be deducted.
Payroll tax credit: How much you take home depends on your personal situation, such as whether you’ve applied the payroll tax credit. This credit only applies to your base pay. Allowances and bonuses are taxed at a standard (higher) rate.
Your pension contribution: Temper pays most of the pension premium. You contribute a small amount per shift.
