Ready to Grow? Hiring Employees in the Netherlands

As your start-up grows, building the right team becomes increasingly important. This may also include employing yourself as a founder of the company. But hiring employees also brings new responsibilities. How do you hire and reward employees effectively, what should you consider when employing yourself as a founder and what are your rights, what do you need to arrange from a payroll and tax perspective, and what should you consider when attracting international talent?

Join us on Thursday, November 12, from 9:30 to 11:00 AM for a practical workshop in which members of the Emerging Giants team of KPMG Meijburg & Co will guide you through the key considerations of becoming an employer and hiring and employing people in the Netherlands.

What we will cover

  • Employee vs. contractor: understanding the distinction and key considerations
  • Hiring and payroll: onboarding employees and setting up Dutch payroll
  • Employee benefits: including the Dutch work-related costs scheme (WKR)
  • Stock options for start-ups: the proposed new Dutch regime and what it could mean for rewarding your team

The workshop is designed for start-ups established in the Netherlands that are looking to employ their founder(s), build or further expand their team. We will focus on the practical issues you are likely to encounter as an employer, as well as opportunities to structure your employment offering effectively.

Thursday, November 12 | 9:30–11:00 AM Where: High Tech Campus Eindhoven | Building 27

We look forward to welcoming you!
