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.
