Questions

• Can non-EU citizens work in The Netherlands?

  Non-EU citizens need a work permit (TWV) issued by the IND before employment begins. Employers typically sponsor the permit application, which requires demonstrating the role cannot be filled by local or EU talent. EU/EEA nationals can start work immediately upon arrival.

• What types of employment contracts exist?

  Permanent contracts (vast meerderheid) and fixed-term contracts are standard. Probation periods of up to two months are common, during which either party can terminate with one week's notice.

• What is the standard working week?

  Full-time work is typically 40 hours weekly, spread across five days. Many employers offer flexibility in scheduling and part-time options.

• How much annual leave do workers receive?

  Employees are entitled to a minimum of 20 days (four weeks) annual leave based on a five-day week. Additional leave may be negotiated in contracts.

• What deductions appear on a Dutch payslip?

  Monthly pay includes deductions for AOW (state pension insurance), health insurance, and income tax. Employers and employees both contribute to social insurance funds.

• How is sick leave handled?

  Employees receive full pay during the first two days of illness; from day three onward, the employer pays 70 percent of salary for up to two years. Medical certification may be required after absence exceeds a certain period.

• What happens during public holidays?

  Public holidays include New Year's Day, King's Day (April 27), Christmas, and others. Work on these days is typically not required unless contractually specified.

• When and how is salary paid?

  Salary is paid monthly by bank transfer, usually at month-end or early in the following month. Payment details and schedules are specified in the employment contract.

• What paperwork must new hires provide?

  Employers require a BSN (burgerservicenummer), proof of identity, tax information, and confirmation of eligibility to work. Non-EU citizens must provide visa or permit documentation.

• Can employees work overtime?

  Overtime is permitted but must comply with maximum working-time regulations and be fairly compensated. Compensation takes the form of extra pay or time off in lieu, depending on the contract.
