Entrepreneurship profile
Your entrepreneurship profile sits under Profile → Business details → Entrepreneurship profile. It is yours, and it is computed from the days you logged in CrewShift yourself: your clients, your days and hours, the amount per engagement and the hourly rate that follows from it.
The profile passes no judgement. There is no score, no percentage of approval and no traffic light in it. It shows what the record shows; what you do with that is between you and your adviser.
How days, hours and amounts are counted
Day — a calendar day on which you worked on one project. Two projects on the same date count as two days.
Hours — from your clock-in to your clock-out, with no break deduction. That is the widest basis, so the hourly rate that follows from it is the most cautious reading.
An office day (prep/wrap) has the same clock-in and clock-out, so it counts as a day with 0 hours. You can therefore have days without hours.
Amount — pay for labour only: day pay, overtime and premiums. Equipment rental, per diem, expenses and VAT are not in it. It is therefore not your invoiced turnover and will not match your invoices.
Share — the part of your days, hours or amount in a year that sits with one client, shown as a percentage.
Every clocked-out day counts, including days you have not submitted yet. Only a shift that is still running (not clocked out) is left out.
Clients and dependency
Per calendar year you see how many clients and engagements there are, how many days and hours you worked, and the amount that goes with them. Below that sits your largest client of that year: the one with the most worked days (ties broken by hours), with its share of your days, hours and amount.
The sector questionnaire asks about more than 3 clients per year, and about 70% or more of your worked time at one client. The profile names those two points as a fact; it draws no conclusion from them.
Personal projects each count as a client of their own. If you want to know how many producers you worked for, count those separately.
Presumption of employment (art. 7:610a BW)
Article 7:610a of the Dutch Civil Code ties a presumption of employment to three consecutive months of work for the same client: every week, or at least twenty hours a month. Whoever invokes it does not have to prove the presumption; the other party has to rebut it.
The profile works out two windows per client, both ending with the last completed period:
- Months — the three completed calendar months before the current one, and how many of them you worked 20 hours or more for that client.
- Weeks — the thirteen completed weeks before the current one, and how many of them you worked at least one day for that client.
Both are strict: three of three months, thirteen of thirteen weeks. If neither is reached, only what the record shows is stated. If one of them is reached, the profile says the record points to the situation art. 7:610a BW describes.
Clients with no day at all inside those windows are not listed.
Pay per engagement
Per engagement you see the client, the first and last worked day, the number of days and hours, and the effective hourly rate: that engagement's pay divided by its clock-in-to-clock-out hours.
Days without a calculated amount are left out of that hourly rate, and so are office days with 0 hours. If there is no day with both hours and an amount, no hourly rate can be derived and it says so.
If the hourly rate is below €38 per hour, that is stated as a fact. That amount is the proposed figure for the presumption of employment in art. 7:610aa BW (Wet VBAR); the ministerial regulation fixing it is not settled yet. It is not a minimum rate and not a violation.
Do not confuse it with the fairPACCT freelance starting rate you see during negotiations: that is a sector guideline per job level, this is a statutory threshold in preparation.
Returning clients
Clients you worked for in more than one calendar year, with those years listed. Recurrence is one of the things an assessment looks at, alongside volume and share.
Not derivable from this data
CrewShift knows your worked days and the amounts that go with them. These points are part of how entrepreneurship is assessed and are not in it:
- Insurance — disability (AOV) and liability.
- Acquisition — how you find work and how you present yourself.
- Tax treatment — profit from enterprise, VAT returns, entrepreneur deductions.
- Investments in your business.
- Your own equipment used on set.
Documents
Below the computed sections you can keep your own business documents: a disability insurance certificate (AOV), a business liability certificate, a professional liability certificate, and other for anything else you want to have on hand. Pick the kind and attach a PDF, JPEG or PNG of up to 10 MB. The insurer or issuer and the date it is valid until are optional; a document without a date is simply shown without one.
There is no kind for a KvK extract. Your KvK number sits in your profile and is checked against the Chamber of Commerce register there, so a copy of the extract adds nothing here. There is no kind for identity documents either — do not upload a passport or ID card.
Each document shows its kind, issuer, filename and the date it is valid until. CrewShift states that date as a fact: the day it expires, or that it has expired. It draws no conclusion from it.
A stored document cannot be edited. To correct one, delete it and upload the new version. Deleting removes the file and its entry; if you have already signed a declaration, the list of documents recorded in that signed declaration stays as it was at the moment you signed.
Declaration
The entrepreneurship declaration is the sector questionnaire, filled in by you and signed by you. It has six parts: entrepreneurial risks, acquisition, clients, tax treatment, investments, and whether you are paid through a payroll company.
CrewShift fills nothing in for you. Your name, trade name, KvK number and website are shown read-only from your profile; everything else is your answer. Beside the questions about your clients per year you see what the CrewShift record holds for those years — the number of clients and the share of your hours at your largest client — as a fact to compare against. The client questions cover the last two calendar years; a year before the start year of your business is not asked. What you answer yourself is what is stored: the questionnaire asks about all of your work, and CrewShift only knows the days you logged here.
Your answers are kept as a draft while you fill them in, so you can leave and come back later. Nothing is shared at the draft stage.
To sign, read the statement at the bottom, tick the box and type your full name. That name is never filled in for you. The Sign button stays disabled until every question is answered; the number of unanswered questions is shown above it. Signing stores your answers as they stand, together with a snapshot of your profile details and of the documents you have at that moment, and fixes them: a signed declaration cannot be changed.
CrewShift then seals the signed declaration as a PDF with a certificate page carrying the hash of its contents, the same way deal memos and invoices are sealed. The declaration section shows when the sealed PDF is ready, with a download button.
You can sign again whenever your situation changes — a new year, a new policy, different clients. Signing again creates a new version; earlier signed versions are kept.
Sharing with a producer
Nothing goes to a producer until you switch sharing on. The sharing section lists the producers you have worked for in CrewShift, each with its own switch.
Switch one on and that producer is given access to your signed declarations, their sealed PDFs, and the documents in your list with their kind, issuer and validity date. Producers you have not switched on get none of it.
That producer also keeps a zzp dossier for the engagement you have with them, and switching sharing on fills two of its sections. It then shows your signed declaration and your document list, and — per calendar year — how many clients you worked for, how many days you worked in total, and what share of those days and of your earned amount sat with that producer. Client names are never part of it, nor is any figure about another producer by name: only the totals, their share of them, and the number of clients behind them. If you declared for a year that you did not work 70% or more of your time for one client, while 70% or more of your days recorded in CrewShift that year were with that producer, the dossier lists that as an open item — noting that work outside CrewShift does not count towards the share.
Without the switch, that dossier only holds what the producer can see anyway: the days you worked for them.
A producer who is about to book you also sees a short signal at booking time. With sharing on it includes the share of your days and of your earned amount that sat with them in a year, and how many clients you worked for — still without any client name.
Switch it off and that producer's access stops. The section shows since when a producer has access and, once you switch it off, when that access stopped.
Who sees this
The profile is yours. Producers see nothing here — not the computed figures, not your documents, not your declaration — unless you switch sharing on for that producer yourself, and then only what Sharing with a producer describes: your signed declaration, your documents, and your yearly totals and shares without any client name.
