About ICS Payroll

ICS Payroll is a specialized subsidiary of Intercompany Solutions, a Rotterdam-based firm that has helped over 2000 international entrepreneurs establish and run businesses in the Netherlands.

We exist because hiring should not be the reason a market entry stalls. By arranging a certified EOR partner for your Dutch hires, we let founders, recruiters, and HR leads move at the speed they need - without inventing a local entity for a single hire.

In Joost's words

Who we are, and what we actually do

Who we are

A Dutch payroll desk inside a company formation firm

I run the payroll and Employer of Record arm of Intercompany Solutions, the Rotterdam firm that has helped more than 2,000 international entrepreneurs set up in the Netherlands. That history matters: most clients reach me in the middle of a market entry, not with a tidy HR question. I sit next to the incorporation, tax and immigration people, so a payroll question that turns out to be a permanent establishment question or a residence permit question does not get bounced between three suppliers.

“Most mistakes I see are not exotic. They are a contract that quietly became permanent, a sick employee nobody reintegrated, or a 30% ruling filed too late. That is what we are here to prevent.”
Joost Hubregtse, Director, ICS Staffing & Payroll

What we do

We become the legal employer, or we run the payroll behind yours

Two services, one legal engine underneath. With Employer of Record I hire your candidate on a Dutch employment contract, carry the employer obligations and invoice you monthly. With Dutch payroll the employment stays with your own entity and my team takes over the wage tax filings (loonaangifte), payslips, pension and reporting. Either way you get one named contact, a fixed monthly cycle and full visibility on the total cost of employment before anyone signs anything.

Our mission

Make Dutch employment boring for the employer

My mission is simple: an international employer should be able to hire in the Netherlands without becoming an expert in Dutch labour law. So I absorb the parts that create real liability - sick pay and reintegration duties (loondoorbetaling bij ziekte, re-integratie), collective labour agreement application (CAO), the chain rule on fixed-term contracts (ketenregeling), the 30% ruling application (30%-regeling), dismissal law (ontslagrecht) - and hand back a monthly number and a clear file. If I am doing my job, you rarely have to think about the Belastingdienst.

How we charge

No percentage games on top of the salary

I quote the total cost of employment plus our service fee, including risk cover, as a separate line. You see the employer burden, the pension contribution and the optional sick leave insurance broken out next to it. If a number in your quote moves, I tell you which rule moved it. ICS Staffing & Payroll is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) and works to the NEN 4400-1 standard for payroll and staffing administration.
