We work across countries, which means contracts don’t look identical everywhere. We still aim to treat everyone the same way within the boundaries of local law. The tool we use for consistency is the Matrix Reloaded: we plot expectations at hiring, and we check reality after nine months.
This chapter covers four groups:
🇳🇱 people based in the Netherlands,
🇬🇧 people in the UK,
🇩🇪 people in Germany,
:omron: colleagues moving from Omron to Luscii.
When you join Luscii, you’re plotted on the Matrix Reloaded during hiring. That plot is the basis for the offer in your contract.
After you’ve been at Luscii for nine months, we run a compensation matrix session. We compare the result to:
What happens next depends on the country contract framework and your score.

Please note that for people that were hired before November 2025, we have used the old Matrix. This means scores are not always directly comparable to the old base/growth split.

In the Netherlands, the first employment contract is always for one year. Based on the outcome of the matrix, the second contract will be either another one-year contract or an indefinite contract.
We use temporary contracts in the Netherlands because ending employment once someone has an indefinite contract is relatively difficult under Dutch law. Temporary contracts provide a fair period to confirm that the expectations set during hiring match the reality of the role—for both the employee and Luscii.
Timing note: The nine-month matrix session takes place roughly three months before the end of the first-year contract. If you are on a second temporary contract, the next matrix session is typically held around month 21.
