The worker starts
Groos arranges the contract and the pay, and we stay in touch with you for as long as the assignment runs.
Your duties on pay and physical strain
- Equivalent pay applies, so the worker earns no less than your own pavers in the same role.
- Under the Working Conditions Decree (Arbobesluit), physical strain must not put workers at risk. You organise the work so that lifting aids limit heavy lifting.
- In your paving work plan (straatwerkplan), you record in advance which part is laid by machine and which by hand.
- The Netherlands Labour Authority checks paving work for physical strain. In case of a breach, it can stop the work and impose a fine.
Questions from clients about hiring street pavers
Can your street pavers lay by machine?
That differs per candidate. You hear in advance whether someone has experience with a clamp, vacuum lifter or paving machine.
Who provides the clamp or vacuum lifter?
The equipment belongs to your site, so you provide it and give the instruction.
Is laying by hand still allowed?
Hand laying is only allowed where there is demonstrably no other way. Machine or mechanical laying is the starting point in the sector.
Can I also request a paving labourer?
Yes, you can request a paver, a labourer or both. Tell us how your crew is made up now.
What do I pay for a street paver through Groos?
That differs per role, paving labourer or independent paver, and per project. After your request, you get a proposal stating the hourly rate.
What does the paver working for me earn?
The worker earns at least the wage of your own people in the same role. Newcomers to construction begin on a starting wage.
Does paving need laying or repairing soon?
In your request, describe the work, the crew you need and the start date. Our team then calls you about experience and equipment.
