State institutions still pay interim managers above agreed limit

Institutions like the national insurance bank, benefit payment agency UWV and land registry group Kadaster are all still paying interim managers more than the €181,000 guideline maximum, according to tv current affairs show Nieuwsuur


Last year, the national insurance bank paid a project manager €468,000 while an interim manager at the UWV earned €446,000, Nieuwsuur says.
In 2008 and 2009, a total of 18 interims earned more than €300,000 a year.
‘We are talking about organisations which are paid for by the public purse and ought to stick to the rules,’ CDA MP Margreeth Smilde said in a reaction.
Last year, parliament agreed that state institutions should not pay interims more than the prime minister’s €181,000 salary plus 30%. However, the cabinet announced this summer that the maximum is not binding on autonomous government organisations.
