Those more expensive loaves of bread and cartons of milk? This has an “effect on the financial position of employees”, according to Van Montfoort. Although at the moment only less than a handful of civil servants at Vijfheerenlanden are deeply in debt, that could change due to inflation. The chance is increasing that employees “can no longer afford the costs of basic facilities such as gas and electricity”, the alderman writes. “This can have consequences for the mental health of employees.”
