15-12 | Ensuring fair pay in the Netherlands (English)

Trainer: Bilal Bachir

What will you learn during this evening?
What is your work worth? It’s difficult to determine that. No need to worry. During this evening, you will learn how you can calculate a fair hourly rate. You will also find out how you can negotiate that rate in a smarter way, as you will come to understand what should be taken into account when setting your rate. You will know where you need to look for good reference rates and what fair pay is, and is not, about in practice.
