WTTA-ready with Beeple: from compliance pressure to a workable process

The Wet toelating terbeschikkingstelling van arbeidskrachten (WTTA) — the Dutch licensing law for staffing services — sets new requirements for staffing and secondment agencies. In this blog we look at where things get stuck in practice, and how Beeple removes the pain points.

The WTTA is more than a checklist

Since 1 January 2025, WTTA module inspections have been carried out at Dutch staffing and secondment agencies. In practice, plenty of shortcomings are being identified — particularly in the three areas where the law looks most strictly: the employment contract, time tracking, and obtaining correct data from the client.

The message is clear. This isn't a list you tick off in an afternoon. These are requirements that sit deep inside operational processes, and organisations that don't automate will inevitably get stuck during their first audit. The sector still has a limited window to put corrective measures in place. Waiting is not a strategy.

Three places where it pinches

The employment contract. The WTTA requires contracts to be demonstrably issued, with a correct start-of-employment date — not the start date of the actual work — and a specific contractual working time. A contract with vague wording will almost always give an auditor enough reason for a finding.

Time tracking. Start and end times need to be accounted for, even for employees on a fixed contractual working time. Anyone working without a registration tool gets caught out by even the most basic audit questions.

Data requests to the client. This is perhaps the biggest bottleneck in practice: the law asks for information that only the client can confirm, while clients themselves are busy running their own business. The more you ask of the client, the higher the risk of putting the relationship under strain.

On all three fronts, the same thing applies: without automated, verifiable processes, compliance comes down to manual work — and people make mistakes.

How Beeple supports WTTA compliance

Beeple is built on one principle: scheduling, time tracking and the communication between staffing agency and client should be watertight. That's how compliance becomes a given instead of extra work.

Time tracking that's rock-solid

In Beeple, employees can check in and out via a QR code at the work location or via GPS coordinates. Thanks to the built-in collective labour agreement (CAO) and sector rules, special hours such as evening and weekend work are automatically processed correctly.

An audit trail that keeps itself up to date

Every critical step in the process — from onboarding through scheduling to time processing — is automatically time-stamped and stored. Ahead of a WTTA audit you don't need to gather evidence: it's already there.

Reports for inspectors and accountants

Data from Beeple is broadly exportable and connects easily with BI tools. Compliance reports, audit overviews or custom exports for your inspector or accountant don't have to become a headache project.

The right fields from day one

Beeple separates the start-of-employment date and the start date of the actual work into distinct fields, exactly as the WTTA prescribes. That structurally prevents one of the most common findings.

Engaging the client with minimal effort

The Beeple worker-onboarding flow is set up so the client only has to confirm what's already prepared for them. No long questionnaires, no unnecessary clicks. The result: timely, correct data, without you having to keep bothering your clients.

‍

The VMS advantage. A scheduling tool that only sits on the staffing-agency side stays dependent on what the client supplies manually. That's exactly where WTTA inspections come unstuck. Beeple sits on both sides of the chain and facilitates the sharing of hours, documents and confirmations — unique compared to standalone scheduling or payroll tools. Compliance is no longer a relay race between systems, but one continuous flow.

Start now — not later

The WTTA deadline may seem far away, but time flies and corrective measures cost more than you think. Those who put their processes in order now will sit relaxed at the table during an inspection. Those who wait will be putting out fires — and risking fines.
