On June 29, AmCham offered a unique opportunity to directly connect with UWV during a webinar on NOW 1.0 & 2.0 – the Dutch Government’s Temporary Emergency Bridging Measure for Sustained Employment (Tijdelijke Noodmaatregel Overbrugging voor Werkbehoud).
The webinar was an initiative of AmCham’s People Platform and organized in collaboration with UWV.
Nick Smits, Strategic Policy Advisor at UWV, commenced with a general overview of NOW 1.0 (the support package for the period March 1 until June 1) and NOW 2.0 (the support package for the period June 1 until October 1). Mr. Smits also shared some first general figures and further elaborated on the differences in several provisions in NOW 1.0 and 2.0. The webinar ended with a Q&A moderated by People Platform Members Rachida el Johari (Sagiure Legal) and Els de Wind (Van Doorne). Live translation was provided by Jacqueline Barnett of translation agency Fedde Vertaalt.
AmCham The Netherlands cordially thanks Nick Smits for sharing useful guidelines and recommendations, and Rachida el Johari, Els de Wind and Jacqueline Barnett for their contribution to this webinar.
