The Mobility Social Fund is primarily concerned with monitoring and information in the field of the collective labor agreement for taxi transport, occupational health and safety and vocational training. In a response to an earlier publication, the Social Fund for Mobility (SFM) stated that, contrary to what the article unintentionally suggested, companies do not have to provide anything until the portal is in use.
However, they have to work since 1 March 2022 on the basis of the new regulations regarding remuneration. So there is absolutely no question of manual input or the like for supplying information to SFM. SFM is currently conducting a feasibility study to investigate the possibilities of automatic links between planning packages and the portal, in order to minimize the administrative burden on companies.
digital delivery
In previous agreements it was stated that in order to minimize extra work at the taxi companies, software suppliers can link their packages with the SFM portal or entrepreneurs can supply an Excel file. This would not only concern companies that work with the BCT in combination with data communication, but all taxi companies, without exception. The Social Fund Mobility can compare the times specified in the portal with the times registered in the BCT.
service blocks
Under the new Collective Labor Agreement it was agreed that an employee can one day work in a shift (known as the MaxFlex service) or in shifts. Employees can therefore not work in shifts and in shifts in one day. For contracts from 0 to 28 hours per week, a maximum of four shifts per day can be specified. All time within a service block is time to be paid. There can be no unpaid breaks in a service block and deviations in the BCT are leading for the remuneration.
enforcement
The “Payment time” scheme was to come into effect on 1 January 2022. The scheme will be evaluated after 1 year. The social partners will make further agreements regarding the consequences of non-compliance with the scheme. Wages themselves will increase by 1% from 2022 January 2,5. The trade unions have appointments created employers' organization KNV.
board
The board of the Social Fund Mobility Foundation consists of 8 members composed of CNV Vakmensen, FNV Taxi and KNV Zorgvervoer en Taxi. The day-to-day management is in the hands of Mr H. van Gelderen. The employees of SFM have built up a lot of knowledge and experience in the taxi industry over the years.
