Mandatory admission test for temp agencies postponed

As of 2023, there are already concrete plans to introduce an admission system for employment agencies and other companies that provide labor. What would you have to do to be admitted? Among other things, submit a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), transfer a security deposit of one hundred thousand euros (a lower amount applies to start-ups), show that the correct wages are paid and pay taxes. Additional requirements apply to foreign employment agencies (except for the VOG). This will all be in the Law “Admission for the Posting of Workers” (TTA Law). 

When is the new law to take effect? The plan was originally January 1, 2025, but that was postponed to January 1, 2026. Even that now appears not to be feasible, according to a letter from the minister. When then? We won't hear that again until January. Enforcement of the admission system will not take place until one year after the TTA law comes into effect. So for now, there is no need to save for that security deposit just yet.
