In the Sector Consultation Caribbean Netherlands, the director of the National Office for the Caribbean Netherlands (RCN), Tim Muller, and the trade unions have reached an agreement on a change to the overtime compensation for police personnel.
This concerns the overtime compensation for employees with the rank of aspirant, agent, brigadier, or chief officer. They will be subject to the same system as other RCN officials, namely a percentage of the hourly wage. That percentage is 150% or 200%, depending on the time at which the overtime was worked.
The change in the overtime compensation represents a substantial income improvement that will be implemented immediately. The compensation had remained unchanged since 10-10-2010.
