Workforce Compliance

Payroll & Company Doctor Integration.

Navigating Dutch payroll taxes and strict absenteeism laws is a legal minefield. We provide seamless payroll administration combined with mandatory occupational health (Arbo) compliance.

Strict Wage Taxes

The Dutch Belastingdienst enforces heavy penalties for incorrect payroll calculations, missed filings, and improper pension registrations.

Mandatory Arbodienst

Under the Dutch Arbowet, every employer must have a contract with a certified occupational health service. Absence of this results in immediate fines.

2-Year Sick Pay Risk

Employers must pay up to 104 weeks of salary during illness. Failing to follow strict reintegration protocols results in UWV wage sanctions.

The Solution

Integrated HR Infrastructure

We eliminate administrative fragmentation by handling your entire employer compliance framework under one roof.
Core Service

Complete Payroll Administration

Monthly generation of digital payslips, automated calculations of holiday allowances, and seamless filing of wage tax returns (aangifte loonheffingen) with the Dutch Tax Authority.

Mandatory Arbo Contract

We execute the legally required basic contract with a certified Occupational Health Service (Arbodienst) or Company Doctor. We connect this directly to your payroll.

Legal Helpdesk

Direct access to employment lawyers for dismissal or disputes.

Sickness Protocol

Bridging Admin and Law.

Administrative errors in payroll or neglecting occupational health procedures lead to massive claims from employees or the UWV. Most bookkeepers cannot advise you on employment law.

Zishan bridges this gap. By integrating legal oversight into your monthly HR and payroll cycles, we protect your business from costly litigation, non-compliance fines, and chain liability claims.

Frequently asked questions

Is a contract with a company doctor (Arbodienst) mandatory?

Yes. Under the Dutch Working Conditions Act (Arbowet), every employer is legally obliged to have a basic contract (basiscontract) with an occupational health and safety service or a certified company doctor. This is strictly enforced by the Labour Inspectorate.

Dutch law requires employers to continue paying a sick employee for up to two years. The employer and employee must actively work on reintegration according to a strict timeline defined by the Wet verbetering poortwachter. Our Arbo service manages this timeline to prevent UWV wage sanctions.
Absolutely. We specialize in registering foreign companies with the Dutch Tax Authorities to obtain a wage tax number (Loonheffingennummer), allowing you to hire employees in the Netherlands without establishing a local Dutch BV entity.
