Frequently Asked Questions for Highly Skilled Migrants
CAO stands for Collective Labor Agreement. If you use the Payroll Umbrella Services of Payingit International, we pay you as a formal imployer according to the NBBU labor agreement for temporary workers. (The agreement is available online in English!)
Yes, there is. The so called StiPP pension is applicable on the employment with Payingit International of your candidate. This pension is applicable from the age of 21 after 26 weeks of employment. After 26 weeks, only an employer part is applicable, we call this the Basic-pension. After 78 weeks of employment, the Plus-pension is applicable. This has an employer and an employee part.
No later than the 25th of each month, you will receive your take-home amount from Payingit International deposited into your Dutch bank account. Your pay comes from us because you are using the Umbrella Services of Payingit International.
An employer is obliged to pay you 8,33 percent (under NBBU) of your gross amount as holiday allowance. This amount is paid monthly to you when you are employed with Payingit International. When your hirer uses another CLA (collective labour agreement), this percentage will be applicable instead of the 8,33%.
Loonheffingskorting is a wage tax reduction. From gross to net you will see a wage tax reduction on your payslip. This wage tax is mandatory and the loonheffingskorting is already included in this. This reduction is only applicable on one job per person at a time (and can be applied to the job with the highest salary).
Your payslip will be sent to you by email within two working days of receiving your take-home amount.
Yes, there is a minimum gross salary applicable, which is also linked to age. The IND requires that you as a knowledge migrant receive a take-home amount that is based on your required salary. These required salary levels are listed on our website: IND income requirements.
The 30% ruling is a Dutch tax facility aimed at attracting foreign employees with specific skills or expertise to the Netherlands, subject to certain conditions. This means your employer may pay you 30% percent of your salary tax-free.
These are terms used in the Netherlands to refer to people who have education, specialist skills, and/or experience that are in high demand. The terms come from the Dutch words, so don’t be put off. It’s a great thing to be because it means your skills are valuable!
The BSN (burgerservicenummer) is the citizen service number, a unique registration number for everyone who lives in the Netherlands. Everyone needs one, even if you are a EU citizen. You will need your BSN to open a bank account and set up your health insurance. You need to apply for one yourself at the municipality.
Yes, it is mandatory. We have a deal with HollandZorg for the employee, but you’re allowed to look for your own health insurance company. You have to apply for it once you are on the payroll.
