Hiring employees in the Netherlands typically requires a registered legal entity, local tax registration, and thorough knowledge of Dutch labor laws. For foreign companies, this can pose a significant barrier. An employer of record Netherlands service allows businesses to legally hire and pay employees in the country without having to establish a Dutch company. It’s a streamlined approach for international expansion or project-based hiring.
What does an EOR do in the Netherlands?
An EOR in the Netherlands becomes the legal employer of record for the worker, handling all statutory obligations such as employment contracts, payroll, pension contributions, social security, and tax filings. Meanwhile, the worker operates under the day-to-day direction of the client. This setup ensures compliance with Dutch regulations while enabling operational flexibility.
