Understanding the Role of an Employer of Record in the Netherlands
As an Employer of Record (EoR) in the Netherlands we can legally employ staff on your behalf - this means you can onboard Dutch and international talent without setting up a local entity.
We take care of:
- payroll management
- tax deductions
- compliance with Dutch employment regulations
- benefits administration
- all other employee-related responsibilities
For professionals like the self-employed, we can simplify work permits, visas, and tax matters. As a UWV-registered provider, we help you get the right paperwork and ensure you receive the same rights and benefits as local employees.
