Sociaal Fonds Taxi

What Sociaal Fonds Taxi does

Sociaal Fonds Mobiliteit (formerly Stichting Sociaal Fonds Taxi, renamed effective 1 January 2020) is a Dutch sectoral social foundation (stichting) that administers the Cao Zorgvervoer en Taxi — the collective labor agreement governing wages and working conditions for the Dutch taxi and healthcare transport industry — and operates the Cao SFM contribution and enforcement scheme on behalf of employers and trade unions. Its mandate is statutorily underpinned: the Cao SFM has been declared generally binding (algemeen verbindend verklaard) by ministerial decree, making the fund's premium collection and CAO-controle inspections applicable to all Dutch taxi companies with personnel.

The organization's core products combine regulatory administration with sector-specific digital tooling and training. Compliance enforcement (Cao-controle) is delivered through on-site audits, an online BCT-data portal (SFM Portaal), secure document exchange via Cryptshare, and a rating system that triggers cost-recovery fees for non-compliant employers (€1,282–€8,333 excl. VAT, scaled by company size). Sector-specific digital tools include the Looncalculator (wage calculation module updated for 2026/2027 tables), the Normtijden Rekenmodule (standard times for school transport routes), the NEA-index sector cost index (published annually by Panteia and used in contract price adjustments), and the Code VVR safety standards platform for wheelchair passenger transport (referencing ISO 7176-19), which includes e-learning modules and inspector certification delivered in partnership with ROVC. The Sterk aan het Stuur program offers free training, webinars, coaching, and health programs for sector employees, jointly developed with FSO for the touringcar segment.

The business model is non-commercial: SFM is financed by a mandatory 0.95% premium on payroll (0.45% employer, 0.50% employee), collected by employers and remitted to the fund, with most member-facing services (training, instruction cards, online courses, wage tools) provided free of charge. Complementary revenue comes from cost-recovery fees on CAO-controle for insufficient-rated companies and from a non-exclusive collective health insurance arrangement with Menzis. The organization is governed jointly by employer body KNV Taxi- en Zorgvervoer and trade unions FNV Taxi and CNV Vakmensen, and operates with an 18-person staff distributing services to a covered workforce of roughly 22,000–23,000 employees per sector vertical entirely within the Netherlands.

Core offering

Sociaal Fonds Mobiliteit (SFM) is the statutory Dutch sectoral social fund that administers collective labor agreements (Cao Zorgvervoer en Taxi, Cao SFM) for the taxi and healthcare transport sector, enforces CAO compliance via field inspections, and provides sector-specific tools and services — including a wage calculator, wheelchair-transport safety code, online courses, vitality programs, and an Arbocatalogus — funded through mandatory employer/employee premiums on payroll.

Product overview

Sociaal Fonds Mobiliteit (formerly Sociaal Fonds Taxi) operates as an industry social fund serving the Dutch healthcare transport and taxi sector. The organization functions as a collective agreement administrator and occupational health promoter rather than a traditional technology product company. Its portfolio centers on administering the Cao Zorgvervoer en Taxi and Cao SFM collective agreements, which govern wages, working conditions, and employer contributions. Key offerings include the Code VVR safety guidelines for wheelchair passenger transport, the Looncalculator wage calculation tool, the Menzis collective health insurance scheme, and the Sterk aan het Stuur vitality program providing free training and webinars. The organization also provides compliance enforcement (cao-controle), training programs (Opleidingen SFM), online courses (internetcursussen), and an annual Taxi Kalender of events. Services are delivered through a website portal, downloadable resources, and scheduled inspections rather than a unified software platform.
