From 1 January 2026, according to the agency collective bargaining agreement, flex workers must receive remuneration at least equivalent to that of a permanent employee in a similar position. This means a considerable expansion of what you have to request data from the hirers.
To secure this process, the workflow Request for user remuneration is available in InSite. Through OutSite, you can easily extract the data from the hirer. That way, the hirer itself records the data and you avoid double recording. Working only from InSite is also possible.
Also consult the theme page.
Equivalent pay in Profit also affects reserves, including holiday pay and holiday hours. Until the end of 2025, leave entitlements and accrual rates for temporary workers were regulated under the collective labour agreement. This will become dependent on the situation at the hirer in 2026 and may therefore vary from placement to placement. This also affects the reserves, the ones already accrued and the accrual from 2026 onwards. Below is an outline of what has changed.
changes to leave
In connection with these changes, you need to convert existing reservations from money into time (transfer) or pay them out. For transferring, you have the temporary view Transferring reservations. Via the new Payout Reservations feature, you can now also arrange payouts collectively quickly and efficiently. You can find out more in the Reservation Roadmap.
Holiday pay changes
Also consult the theme page.
Apart from the changes around leave and holiday pay, the following is new for reservations:
As part of equal pay, the flex worker's right to continue to be paid on public holidays may also be different for each hirer. You set this up with several different closing day tables with corresponding holidays.
For this, a number of changes have been made to Profit regarding:
You set this up before the transition to 2026.
From 1 January 2026, the basic and plus StiPP Pension schemes will be replaced by a single pension scheme.
Any employee employed on 1 January and over 18 will then enter the new pension scheme. An employee who turns 18 during the year transfers to the new scheme from the start date of the pay period in which this occurs.
In addition, the following improvements and changes have been made:
You can switch to the Profit pay scales now with relatively little effort that will save you a lot of time in the future.
You do this as follows:
With a view to communication around the equivalent pay of the flex employee, you can now give the client much more insight into flex employees, placements and client agreements via OutSite. This also allows your client to track placements and contact the temp directly if necessary.
Among other things, the following data can be made visible:
Placements are authorised by role. In addition, the new role Placement Manager has been added, who will see My placements, for example, while All placements can be accessed via the Administrator role.
For many organisations, recording hours is an important part of the work. And rightly so, because good timekeeping ensures that remuneration and invoicing run smoothly.
As an employee, you easily record when and what placement you worked. For example, did you have an extra shift on Saturday night from 10pm to 6am Sunday morning? Complete this via the new booking layouts Unravelling lines or Unravelling lines per week on InSite or Pocket. The unraveller does the rest: Profit splits the hours via the unravelling diagram (see screenshot as an example) into, say, two days and determines whether you have worked overtime. By using different filters and conditions, the hours and fees roll out correctly. So you as an employee do not have to do anything for this!
Note:
This functionality is expected to be delivered in the second half of January. You can read about the latest developments here and on the theme page on the Customer Portal.
For Flex employees, Pocket is of course indispensable for declaring hours worked. To give more insight, Pocket now has a nice home screen where the Flex employee can see, among other things, which tasks and placements he has and on which days hours have already been booked. Click-through can be done on tasks and placements. Clicking on hours is only possible in combination with the hours unraveller. The Profit administrator determines (for the entire environment) when this is put into use and who is authorised to do so. The navigation buttons at the bottom switch between the Flex home screen and the menu.
You can now also enter hours and costs for Flex through the matrix in InSite. This functionality was delivered as a patch on Profit 6. This function does not work with the hours unraveller.
For matrix booking, this includes the following:
You set this up in the new standard booking layouts Booking Hours per Week InSite Matrix Flex (Profit) and Booking Hours per Week InSite Matrix Flex Purchasing (Profit) (for ZZP purchasing).
Booking your hours quickly on the same projects over and over again is now a snap!
Self-employed worker without employees purchase - “Purchase contact reference” purchase statement field
When correcting purchase declarations, the Purchase Relationship Reference field has been made editable. After changing this field, you can generate a new purchase invoice via Purchase > Generate Correction Statements.
Actual costing claim authorisation
The authorisation of claim post-calculation has been improved as you can now create data filters by employee, employer and administration. This allows you to better ensure that employees in Profit and InSite see only the data that applies to them.
Previously, you could only authorise claims (post-calculation) by number and sales relationship.
