EOR Netherlands
Dutch-specific Employer of Record: compliant employment contracts, payroll processing, social security registration, and pension administration.
Dutch Employer of Record services
Establishing a legal entity in the Netherlands, a Besloten Vennootschap (BV), requires notarial deeds, Chamber of Commerce registration, corporate tax enrolment, and ongoing statutory obligations including annual accounts and UBO registration. For companies hiring one to ten employees, the cost and administrative overhead of a BV often outweigh the benefits. An Employer of Record provides an immediate, compliant alternative.
Octagon acts as the legal employer for your Dutch-based staff while you retain full operational control. We handle employment contracts drafted under Dutch law, monthly payroll processing with wage tax and social security filings, pension fund enrolment, and holiday allowance administration. Your employees receive Dutch-compliant pay slips, accrue statutory leave, and are covered by all applicable labour protections, without you needing a local entity.
