Recital 10
(10) Activities dependent on the passing of the seasons are typically to be found in sectors such as agriculture, during the planting or harvesting period, or tourism, during the holiday period, but not excluding other sectors where a seasonal need for workers may arise.
Amendment 86 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) The Directive should provide for a flexible entry system based on demand and objective criteria as determined by individual Member States, such as a valid work contract or a binding job offer that specifies the level of remuneration applicable to seasonal workers in the sector concerned.
Amendment 97 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) The duration of stay should be limited to a maximum period per calendar year, as prescribed by individual Member States which, together with the definition of seasonal work, should ensure that the work is of genuinely seasonal nature. Provision should be made that within that maximum duration of stay, an extension of the contract or change of employer is possible. This should serve to reduce risks of abuses that seasonal workers may face if tied to a single employer and at the same time provide for a flexible response to employers' actual workforce needs.
