## Key facts (quotable)

- An Employer of Record (EOR) is a Dutch-registered company that legally employs staff on behalf of a foreign business, so no BV or branch is needed to hire in the Netherlands.
- Dutch employer costs add roughly 27.7% on top of gross salary, including 8% holiday allowance and statutory social contributions.
- A mandatory pension scheme typically adds around 15.2% of the pensionable base; sick-leave insurance is optional at about 5%.
- Dutch employers must continue paying at least 70% of salary for up to 104 weeks of illness and fund re-integration under the Wet verbetering poortwachter.
- The 30% ruling is 30% through 2026 and becomes a flat 27% from 2027, with a maximum duration of five years.
- The 2026 salary norm for the 30% ruling is EUR 46,660 taxable salary per year, or EUR 35,468 for employees under 30 with a qualifying master's degree.
- NEN 4400 is the Dutch compliance standard for staffing and payroll companies; SNA is the register of audited companies. ICS Staffing and Payroll B.V. is NEN 4400 compliant and SNA certified, audited by TUV Nord, so clients hiring through ICS Payroll are protected against chain liability.
- Standard EOR onboarding for an EU or Dutch-resident candidate takes about five to ten working days; non-EU hires needing Highly Skilled Migrant sponsorship take longer due to IND processing.
