Employer of Record FAQs in Netherlands
What is an Employer of Record in the Netherlands?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in the Netherlands is a third-party organization that becomes the legal employer of your Dutch workforce. Asanify handles all employment-related responsibilities including contracts, payroll, tax compliance, benefits administration, and regulatory filings, while you maintain full control over day-to-day work activities and employee performance.
How quickly can I hire employees in the Netherlands through Asanify?
You can onboard employees in the Netherlands within 3-5 business days through Asanify’s EOR service. This includes preparing locally compliant employment contracts, completing all necessary registrations, and setting up payroll—significantly faster than the 3-6 months typically required to establish a legal entity.
What are the employment costs in the Netherlands?
Employment costs in the Netherlands include gross salary, employer social security contributions (approximately 20-25% of gross salary), pension contributions, mandatory vacation allowance (8% of gross salary), and other statutory benefits. Asanify provides transparent pricing so you understand total employment costs upfront without hidden fees.
What is a collective bargaining agreement (CAO) in the Netherlands?
A CAO (Collectieve Arbeidsovereenkomst) is a collective bargaining agreement negotiated between employers and unions that sets minimum employment conditions for specific industries or sectors. Many Dutch employers must follow applicable CAO provisions regarding wages, working hours, benefits, and employment terms. Asanify ensures compliance with relevant CAOs for your industry.
How does payroll work in the Netherlands?
Dutch payroll operates on a monthly cycle with payment typically made at the end of each month. Asanify processes payroll in Euros, calculates income tax withholding and social security contributions, handles mandatory filings with the Belastingdienst, and ensures employees receive accurate salary payments including vacation allowance and applicable benefits.
What are the mandatory benefits for employees in the Netherlands?
Mandatory benefits in the Netherlands include vacation allowance (8% of annual gross salary), minimum 20 days of annual leave (for full-time employees), pension contributions, participation in social security schemes, and adherence to minimum wage requirements. Additional benefits may be required under applicable CAO provisions. Asanify manages all statutory benefits compliance.
Can I terminate an employee in the Netherlands through an EOR?
Yes, Asanify manages the termination process in compliance with Dutch labor law, which has strict dismissal procedures. Termination typically requires either mutual consent, approval from the Employee Insurance Agency (UWV), or a court order. Notice periods range from 1-4 months depending on tenure. We handle all documentation, severance calculations, and regulatory requirements.
Does using an EOR create permanent establishment risk in the Netherlands?
When properly structured, using an EOR significantly reduces permanent establishment (PE) risk. Asanify serves as the legal employer and handles all employment obligations, minimizing your company’s direct presence in the Netherlands. However, PE risk depends on your specific business activities, and we recommend consulting tax advisors for complex operational structures.
What are Works Council requirements in the Netherlands?
Dutch companies with 50+ employees must establish a Works Council (Ondernemingsraad), which has consultation and consent rights on certain business decisions. Through Asanify’s EOR service, Works Council obligations typically rest with Asanify as the legal employer, though specific requirements depend on your operational structure and employee count.
