There are employers who advise their employees not to use the CoronaMelder, reports Faithful. According to trade unions CNV and FNV, some even ban it. CNV received dozens of reports, mainly from retail and industry.
“Employers in those sectors do not want their staff to install the CoronaMelder. They are afraid that with every report from the app they will lose their employees for ten days, because they will have to be quarantined”, union chairman Piet Fortuin told the newspaper.
Hans Biesheuvel of trade association Ondernemend Nederland (ONL) says that these are entrepreneurs with up to nine employees such as painters, cleaners and truck drivers who depend on the physical presence of their employees. “These are employers who have already been hit hard by the first lockdown and are now afraid that their case will not survive if they have to miss employees for ten days, “he told Trouw. Biesheuvel does not recognize that employers are forbidding the use of the app.
