What is the quota?
Each student is allowed to work 600 hours per year against reduced social contributions. The 600 hours is called the quota. This quota is the amount of hours a student can work on reduced solidarity contributions, regardless of the amount of employers they work for.

Your student can look for the performed amount of hours in his application "Student@work". You can send them this manual (english) explaining how they can look it up. We can not add this quota in Strobbo because we only have details of their job at your company. 

They can however print out a certificate of the amount of hours left on their quota. On the certificate is a code mentioned which you can use to look at the updated amount of hours until the end of the month. New month = new code.

Find out here how your students can print out that certificate + more information about it.

  • First option: You don't change anything

You can continue to send Dimonas of the "STU - Hour" type for the student, and if you arrange the contracts  you have to have them signed.
This is 100% legal, but it is not the cheapest solution.

  • Second option: change him into an EXTRA

ATTENTION; this is only for hospitality (JC 302): Just like any other person, a student is also allowed to do occasional work in the hospitality industry under the statute we call "Extra".
This option is cheaper than the first because your social contributions are calculated at a lower amount based on a lump sum.

They are allowed to work 50 days as an Extra. They obviously must abide by the same rules as any other Extra, meaning they can only work a maximum of 2 consecutive days.

Please note you have to change their statute and dimona-type in this case!
