Law/Patents - Human Resources / Contract between the government and educational staff
Dutch term or phrase: arbeidsvoorwaardencontract
Is an "arbeidsvoorwaardencontract" the same as an "arbeidscontract"? It is referred to in a government letter.

The sentence is as follows: "De staande afspraak is dat voor personeel van de scholen in XXXX deze cao-afspraken worden gevolg. De wijzigingen in de arbeidsvoorwaarden van het overheidspersoneel in dienst van de overheidsdienst XXX zijn in juni in het op overeenstemming gericht overleg tussen XXX, XXX en XXX besproken en vastgelegd in arbeidsvoorwaardenovereenkomsten.

No more context than this I'm afraid. Anybody?

Explanation:
However, I think they are trying to make a distinction between an employment contract that contains everything related to the job and the employee and a contract that lists the minimum terms that the law (or, in your case, the collective bargaining agreement) prescribes.

Why have an employment contract?
An employer must provide an employee with their employment terms, (known as a "statement of terms") within 2 months of the employee's start date. However, a statement of terms is the bare minimum required by law, and does not protect employers properly. That is why an employment contract is much better for both employers and employees. A comprehensive contract of employment allows an employer to specify an employee's duties and responsibilities - so an employee knows exactly what is expected of them. See below for what should be included.
