Your team gets paid right, every time
Employee Insurance Schemes
It covers unemployment, illness, and incapacity for work under regulations such as the Sickness Benefits Act, Work and Income (Capacity for Work) Act, Unemployment Insurance Act, and Invalidity Insurance Act.
National Insurance Schemes
Applies to everyone working or residing in the Netherlands and includes the National Survivor Benefits Act, General Child Benefit Act, General Old Age Pensions Act, and Long-Term Care Act.
Pension contributions
Many employees are covered under industry-wide pension schemes. We can help you align with the applicable CAO or statutory pension rules.
Health Insurance
Employer contributions are typically 6.57% of income (up to the set cap).
We strive to follow every rule to the letter
Bonuses
Bonuses aren’t mandated. They’re discretionary and vary by sector or seniority, more common in industries like tech, media, and engineering, or for roles like directors and senior managers.
Variable Compensation
Much like bonuses, variable compensation such as commissions are not mandated, however they are common in many industries.
Medical Benefits
Some companies offer additional medical benefits and they can be accommodated along with other benefits under our platform
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Worker classification
Correctly classifying employees and contractors is essential to reduce the risk of fines, legal disputes, or reputational damage. We work with the best professionals to ensure that our employment contracts and documentation are compliant.
Anti-Discrimination
The Dutch Equal Treatment Act prohibits discrimination based on religion, race, gender, nationality, and other protected characteristics. We incorporate these principles into employment practices.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Paid annual leave
Employees are entitled to a minimum of 4 times the number of hours they work per week. For example, if they work 40 hours a week, they will then be entitled to 4×40=160 hours of leave per year. The amount of statutory leave is calculated proportionally for employees that work part time. Most employees receive at least 20 days of paid statutory annual leave, plus a holiday allowance of 8% of their annual salary.
Additionally, the annual leave can be enhanced through a collective bargaining agreement. In our case, the applicable collective bargaining agreement (collective agreement for temporary workers) establishes that employees are entitled to 25 days of paid statutory annual leave.
Sick leaves
Employers are generally required to pay at least 70% of salary during sickness, for up to two years, depending on the contract and applicable CAO.
Maternity/paternity & parental Leave
Maternity leave is 16 weeks (6 before and 10 after birth). If the partner of an employee gives birth, the employee can take this paid leave any time in the first 4 weeks after the birth of the child.
Parents can also take up to 26 times their weekly working hours in parental leave for children under 8.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. We know how to do this well and compliantly.
Notice periods
Statutory notice periods for indefinite employment contracts range from one to four months, depending on the employee’s length of service. The maximum is six months. Employees typically provide one month’s notice when resigning.
Severance
Employees are entitled to a transition payment of one-third of their monthly salary for each year of service, capped at €98,000 or one year’s gross salary (whichever is higher).
Offboarding process
We take care of settlement agreements, final payroll calculations, social security and tax filings, and closing employment records in compliance with Dutch regulations.
