No NEN 4400-1 without model agreement?

I am involved in the audit for the NEN 4400-1 certification. The VAR was also taken into account during the assessment of the ZZP file. The question arose: “What does the model agreement mean for the NEN 4400-1 certification?”

What is NEN 4400-1? NEN 4400-1 provides clarity as to whether the employer/client has its financial administration in order when it comes to payment in accordance with the collective labor agreement (not relevant for self-employed persons) and if they work with self-employed persons, the self-employed person's file must be in order are. Until May 1, 2016, the VAR-wuo is one of the documents that must be found in the client's file. This will change after May 1, 2016.

2 Situations where the model agreement is required The NEN 4400-1 audit looks back in time. As a result, the model agreement plays a role in every audit after May 1, 2016 when working with self-employed persons. The model agreement will come into play when: 1. business is done with a new self-employed person or 2. when work is carried out in an existing relationship that does not fall under the (extended) VAR.

Do you know what you are signing for? In discussions with self-employed people and clients, the model agreement has not been the biggest concern until now. If an assignment continues (extended VAR) or with a client that is not NEN 4400-1 certified, the urgency is not yet felt. However... Governing requires foresight and if, as a self-employed person, you are presented with a model agreement unprepared, do you know what you are signing for? Who leaves an assignment to first delve into what the model agreement will mean for him (and his client)? Is this asking for the known path?

The model agreement is the new reality Isn't it true that the State Secretary suggests a preparation period until May 1, 2017? As is often the case in life, suggestions are not always correct. Because in the case of certification, the presence of the VAR can no longer be tested for the presence of the VAR in new cases after May 1, because it is no longer provided. The model agreement is then the new reality.

Missed opportunity because I was not prepared for the model agreement. The model agreement for self-employed persons in construction has a number of conditions that, if not arranged, cannot be achieved quickly. This includes certain safety diplomas (VCA-full), recognizable work clothing and investing in your own materials/tools.

The model agreement only provides certainty about the payment of payroll tax provided that the working relationship is carried out as described in the agreement!

Independence has a broader assessment framework for the tax authorities, which means that certainty about income tax and turnover tax is not provided by the model agreement.
