Question
Answer ( 1 )
Permanent contracts (vast contract): These provide long-term employment and offer more stability to employees.
Fixed-term contracts (tijdelijk contract) have a predetermined end date or are tied to a specific project or task.
Temporary contracts (flexibel contract): These are characterized by temporary or part-time employment arrangements.
On-call contracts (oproepcontract) involve work based on the employer’s needs, without fixed working hours.
