For international employers
Hiring your first employee in the Netherlands
Your first Dutch hire is the moment to establish a strong employment law foundation for your operation in the Netherlands. All-Right checks the Dutch employment law requirements for the planned hire and puts the essential documentation in place.
Before the contract is finalized
A first hire is more than an employment agreement
A well-drafted employment agreement is essential, but it is only one part of the Dutch setup. The activities of the business can determine whether a generally binding collective labor agreement (CAO) applies and may also raise a question about a mandatory industry pension fund.
International employment terms and policies may need to work differently in the Netherlands. Choices that are routine elsewhere can therefore have different legal consequences here.
What All-Right puts in place
The essentials for a strong start
This work is designed for international organizations making their first or one of their first hires in the Netherlands. The setup is based on the organization’s activities in the Netherlands and the employees it plans to hire.
01
The relevant Dutch framework
All-Right assesses the Dutch employment law framework for the planned hire, including whether the business activities raise a CAO question or indicate that specialist pension advice may be needed.
02
Essential employment documentation
Put the employment agreement templates the organization needs in place and review the international employment policies relevant to the Dutch setup.
03
A setup ready to use
Start with a practical employment law setup that HR and management can use for the planned hire and the hires that follow.
You can ask any questions that arise when putting the setup into practice.
Strategy call
Tell me about your planned Dutch hire
In the Strategy Call, we discuss your organization and the planned hire so I can assess whether All-Right can help you put the necessary employment law foundation in place. You will choose a provisional time and answer a few brief questions. I review each request personally before the call is confirmed.
