From 30 July 2020, EU regulations stipulate that additional employment conditions apply to posted workers. There are a number of additional obligations for foreign employers who post workers to companies in the Netherlands, such as Tata Steel in IJmuiden. All posted workers must be registered with the government via the system set up by the government for this purpose.

For more information about the Posting of Workers Directive, the notification process and what is required of you as a (main) contractor, visit postedworkers.nl. This website allows employers abroad and relevant self-employed persons from the EU, EEA or Switzerland who have a temporary assignment in the Netherlands to submit a notification online. The website also provides information about posting workers to the Netherlands.

Furthermore, information and a number of guidelines necessary for reporting can be found in the brochures below. Take action where necessary. Failure to comply with the secondment directive means that your seconded employees on site will not be able to carry out their planned work.

We refer to “secondment” when an employer based abroad in the EU, EEA or Switzerland seconds their employee(s) to the Netherlands for a temporary assignment or contract with a Dutch client.
