Foreign employers hiring employees in The Netherlands

This article discusses legal aspects of the situation where a foreign employer hires Dutch employees in The Netherlands. Although there’s some degree of coordination within the EU (by means of regulation EU 883/2004), rules concerning social security, pension scheme and taxes vary considerably within the different EU member states. Having one or more employees working and/or living abroad or working for an employer who is situated abroad, for instance Cyprus, has a number of consequences for both employer and employee.
