In NL, the official (cumulative) maxima are 12 hours/day and 60 
hours/week. However, you are not allowed to work to the maximum hours 
for a continuous period. Over longer periods averages of 55 hours/week 
(4 weeks period) or 48 hours/week (16 weeks period) apply. The average 
for most jobs probably is 36/40 hours/week. If these rules apply for 
independent workers depends on the type of work provided.
