What’s to stop an employer from hiring someone, paying them a few bucks an hour and calling them “volunteers”?
Because most likely would not find volunteers that are ok being paid approx. 170euro a month. Also I think this setting is only applicable to foundations and associations.
Yes and that’s why volunteer fees are nowhere near minimum wage. It’s basically a way to compensate all sort of volunteers helping out non-profits. IMO it’s quite a good system and more of a symbolic then a real pay.

Plenty of people do. That’s why minimum wage is a thing.

Brother, that is the problem that I’m trying to highlight…if no one worked for less than minimum wage, no one would need a minimum wage…
Believe it or not, many “non-profits” are not ethical. At least not in the US, I won’t speak to NL or anywhere else.
