Please read through our frequently asked questions regarding hiring in the Netherlands. We've listed the most common questions and answers below.
When off work due to sickness or injury, the employees first 10 days are paid by the employer. From day 11, Teamed's sickness insurance kicks in, covering 70% of your salary for up to 2 years.
10 Weeks maternity and 1 week paternity leave.
Employees are entitled to 20 working days of annual leave plus 11 public holidays. It is mandatory to carry over any unused leave, this carried over holidays expires on the 1st of July.
In the Netherlands, the 8% holiday allowance is a mandatory bonus, amounting to 8% of an employee's annual gross salary, paid in May to encourage vacations. This practice highlights the value placed on work-life balance, aiming to enhance employee well-being and productivity.
Due to the competitive nature of the Netherlands' healthcare insurance market, individuals can often find equivalent or superior health insurance plans compared to those offered through an employer. Consequently, Teamed does not currently provide health insurance in the Netherlands.
Teamed are able to offer a company pension scheme. It requires a minimum 3% contribution from the client, with additional fees including a €5.50 monthly administration charge and a 2.75% disability waiver of the employee's salary. Contributions offer tax benefits for both employees and employers, though pension payouts are taxable, ensuring the plan is accessible to all employees.
Our team can build custom benefits packages based on the specific needs of our customers whilst ensuring that the benefits will stay 100% compliant.
The Netherlands' 30% ruling provides a sliding scale tax exemption for highly skilled migrants: 30% of salary tax-free for the first 20 months, then 20% for the next 20, and 10% for the final 20 months, over a five-year maximum.
Aimed at easing the cost of living adjustment, it supports expats by offsetting extraterritorial expenses. Eligibility hinges on specific salary thresholds and the nature of expertise.
General Probation Rules: The maximum probation period is 2 months.
Notice Period: During probation, no notice is required, and the notice period can be mutually agreed upon. A common duration is 2 weeks. After probation, the default notice period for the employee is 1 month, but agreements of up to 6 months are permissible. If the employee's notice period exceeds 1 month, the employer's notice period must be at least double the length.
Fixed term contracts come with a straightforward ending: no notice period is needed, keeping things simple as the contract wraps up.
Both employers and employees have the flexibility to agree on early departure terms, including setting a notice period if desired.
Even with a clear end date in mind, employers are reminded to confirm with employees whether their journey together will continue or conclude, giving a heads-up at least a month before the contract's end. This can be given as soon as the contract starts, keeping everyone in the loop.
If an employer forgets to notify an employee about the contract's end, the oversight carries a one-month salary penalty.
Should the notification come late the penalty adjusts accordingly. For instance, a three-week notice will mean compensating the employee with an extra week's salary.

Our standard procedure involves requesting a deposit from our customers, typically equivalent to the employee's first month's salary, as a precautionary measure. This practice ensures our ability to consistently fulfil our legal obligation to pay employees promptly.
