Hiring story (why sites hire)

Dutch laundries often run like a production line: incoming batches are scanned/count-checked, processed by temperature program, and finished through folding/packing stations. Demand spikes when hotels, healthcare providers, and logistics contracts scale up — that is when extra hands are needed for consistent throughput and quality.

Work is repetitive but structured — you succeed by keeping pace and staying accurate.
Quality matters (counting, correct bundles, clean segregation).
Most sites train you on one station first, then rotate after you are stable.

What you’ll do (day-to-day)

Sort & prepare textiles: Separate linen by type (towels/bed linen/workwear), follow basic hygiene rules, and prepare batches for processing.
Operate simple production stations: Feed items into machines (e.g., ironer/calender lines), move carts, stack, fold and package finished linen for dispatch.
Quality & count checks: Spot obvious defects or stains, keep bundles consistent, and flag shortages or mixed items when required.
Housekeeping & safety: Keep your station clean, follow instructions for heat/steam areas, and use PPE when required (site-specific).

Note: exact tasks depend on the site (industrial laundry vs hotel linen vs healthcare contracts).

Pay, allowances & what affects your rate (gross)

Typical gross hourly range

The Netherlands uses an hourly statutory minimum wage (gross). For many laundry roles, entry pay starts around the legal minimum and increases with site grading, experience and time-on-assignment.

Profile	Gross hourly range (EUR)	What usually changes it
Starter / entry	€14.71–€15.20	Station complexity, pace, basic reliability
Experienced	€15.20–€16.50	Machine line work, quality responsibility, team rotation

All figures are gross (brutto). Final offer depends on province, shift pattern, CAO/site policy, and overtime.

Allowances (project/CAO dependent)

Many sites apply additional pay elements depending on schedule and policy.

Irregular hours / shift allowance (evening/night) where applicable.
Overtime may be paid or compensated under site rules and collective agreement frameworks.
Holiday allowance and end-of-year components can exist depending on contract setup.

Reality check: allowances and deductions vary by employer, contract type and accommodation/transport arrangements (if offered). You receive the exact breakdown after screening and before acceptance.
