NL Assist

Employment Assistance

Contracts, payslips, agency papers and work-related letters explained.

Dutch employment paperwork is detailed: the contract, the payslip (loonstrook), the annual statement (jaaropgave), holiday hours and the collective agreement (CAO) that applies to your work.

We read these documents with you and explain in plain language what they say — your hours, your gross and net pay, deductions, holiday allowance and the notice period.

We explain and help with administration. For a legal dispute with an employer we refer you to a lawyer, a trade union or the official legal-aid desk.

  • Reading your payslip: gross, net, deductions, holiday pay
