Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p><p>You pay your household help with service vouchers of \u20ac10 per hour. This price has been fixed and has not changed since January 1, 2014, until the latest increase on January 1, 2025. The Flemish Government also maintained the price of service vouchers in the most recent budget agreement of September 25, 2023. This means that Actoplus has received the same hourly rate for 9.5 years, except for the index adjustment of the vouchers themselves, which is partially matched by the government. This is no longer economically sustainable, as our working costs\u2014through no fault of our own\u2014are rising every year.<\/p><p>In recent years, we&#8217;ve experienced significant wage indexations, additional legal obligations related to training, prevention, and safety at work, and cumbersome administrative procedures that require additional time from our office staff. Furthermore, we naturally want to continue investing in the personal guidance and training of our cleaners. This is important for the development and well-being of our employees.<\/p><p>Your customer contribution helps us cover the shortfall in operating funds generated by service vouchers. This allows us to continue supporting our employees and ensuring our continued service to you.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-item\">\n                        <div class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-title bdt-accordion-title bdt-flex bdt-flex-middle bdt-flex-between\" id=\"bdt-ep-accordion-why-is-actoplus-switching-to-a-customer-contribution-per-hour\" data-accordion-index=\"7\" data-title=\"why-is-actoplus-switching-to-a-customer-contribution-per-hour\" role=\"heading\">\n\n                                                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-icon bdt-flex-align-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\n                                                                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-icon-closed\">\n                                            <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-fw fas fa-angle-down\"><\/i>                                        <\/span>\n                                    \n                                                                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-icon-opened\">\n                                            <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-fw fas fa-angle-up\"><\/i>                                        <\/span>\n                                    \n                                <\/span>\n                            \n                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-title-text bdt-flex bdt-flex-middle\">\n\n                                                                Why is Actoplus switching to a customer contribution per hour?                            <\/span>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-content bdt-accordion-content\">\n                            <p>Since November 1, 2023, we, like other cleaning agencies that use service vouchers, have been charging an hourly rate.

Since January 1, 2014, we have continued to receive the same amount per hour worked, even though our operating costs have risen sharply over the past 9.5 years\u2014through no fault of our own.
