Questions about working in a warehouse
Can I start without a forklift certificate?
Yes, picking orders and packing need no certificate. You only need one to drive a forklift or reach truck.
How early does my shift start?
That depends on the company. In the flower trade you sometimes start at 05:00. The start time is always in the vacancy.
Will I work in shifts?
Often yes, because many warehouses have an early and a late shift. You agree in advance which shifts you can work.
How do I get to a business park without a car?
That differs per vacancy, because not every warehouse is on a bus route. We check with you whether you can arrive on time.
Is warehouse work heavy?
The work is physical, because you stand and walk for the whole shift. We tell you in advance what that company expects.
Do I get the same wage as permanent colleagues?
Yes, by law you get the same wage as permanent colleagues who do the same work. This also applies when you drive a forklift.
