Separate federal/private-sector, regional/community public-sector and collective-agreement duties. Use classification work without treating it as a filing rule.

Do not treat the consultation metadata as an enacted effective date; test the final employee-count and reporting model.

Bill 36.949 remains pending in the Tweede Kamer. The debate calendar now shows Week 50 of 2026 (7–13 December), replacing the inherited Week 02 of 2027 schedule.
