"Minimum wage for 15-year-olds rises four cents"
http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archive...earolds_ri.phpThe minimum wage for 15-year-olds doing holiday jobs will go up four cents this year to €2.52 per hour, the social affairs ministry has decided.
Young teenagers can take a holiday job from the age of 13, but there is no minimum wage for 13 and 14-year-olds.
Youngsters may work a maximum seven hours a day and no more than five days in a row. They are also barred from working with machinery and without adult supervision.
Four cents?
I suppose so. At least there is a minimum for that age bracket, I find myself paying more for mowing the lawn and washing the cars, am I going soft?
Are they working without adult supervision and driving lawnmovers... basicly operating machinery? If yes, then you need to pay them lots of extra![]()
Must be why I pay them €10 per hour then, with free music and non alcoholic beverages included....
"New Dutch 'supercar' Vencer Sarthe unveiled"
The all-new Dutch supercar, named the Vencer Sarthe, has been recently unveiled, with its carbon fiber body, tubing chassis and V8 engine.
edit: estimated cost is now at €265.000..........
The Vencer Sarthe supercar is a hand-built vehicle which is riding on a steel and chrome-moly tubing chassis, covered by a carbon fiber body and sitting on 19 / 20-inch alloy wheels. Power to the Vencer Sarthe is coming from a mid-mounted V8 engine, which is developing a total output of 503 horsepower and a peak torque of 650 Nm (480 lb-ft). The unit is mated to a six-speed manual transmission which is sending power to the rear wheels via a limited slip differential. The 0 to 100 km/h acceleration is done in 3.8 seconds and the supercar can achieve a top speed of 326 km/h (202 mph). Pricing is yet to be announced.
