Flexi-jobs are expanding

HOOK

Flexi-jobs are expanding.

FACTS

  • From 1 July, flexi-jobs will be possible in all private and public sectors.
  • People who already work at least four-fifths or are retired can earn extra income with tax advantages.
  • For young people, this may be noticeable through parents, student jobs, hospitality, shops or future first work experience.
  • The ABVV union opposes the move, while employers’ organisation VBO welcomes it.

TAKEAWAY

Flexi-jobs may create more ways to earn extra money, but they also raise questions about taxes, fair jobs and social protection.
