Why is this increase important?

The rise in minimum wage is great news not only for employees, but especially for temporary workers. It ensures fairer pay and contributes to a better standard of living. Additionally, benefits such as AOW (state pension), unemployment benefits (WW), and social assistance will also increase, since they are linked to the minimum wage.
