Temper Ruled a Temp Agency

An Amsterdam court just ruled that Temper, the gig platform calling itself a “freelancer” hub, is actually a temp agency — meaning thousands of workers may be owed back pay for holidays, sick leave, and pensions. The court found Temper controls work terms, handles payments, and acts like an employer — similar to the Deliveroo case. Workers who thought they were self-employed could now claim missed benefits, plus Temper must repay a one-euro-per-hour fee it charged until 2019. While Temper plans to appeal, unions hail it as a major win in the Netherlands’ push to crack down on fake self-employment, with the tax office ramping up enforcement across gig platforms.
