Great people,

In the Netherlands, it is illegal to possess, sell or produce drugs. While so-called soft drugs are tolerated under strict conditions, this tolerance does not apply to private property without permission.

All B2Works accommodations are private residences. This means that the possession, use, storage or distribution of drugs — including soft drugs — is strictly prohibited in our houses, apartments and gardens.

Zero-tolerance drug policy

At B2Works, we apply a zero-tolerance drug policy. This policy is in place to ensure a safe, respectful and stable living environment for all residents. Drug use can lead to unsafe situations, nuisance for housemates and violations of local regulations.

If a resident is found in possession of or using drugs in B2Works accommodation, we reserve the right to immediately terminate the rental agreement. In serious cases, additional measures may be taken in accordance with Dutch law.

We expect all residents to respect Dutch legislation and our housing rules to maintain a safe living environment for everyone.

The special rate on your paycheck is a tax rate applied to irregular or one-time income. This may include bonuses, holiday allowance, benefits, overtime payments, or other additional payments that are not part of your regular monthly salary.

On Dutch payslips, this is often shown as “bijz. tar.” (short for bijzonder tarief). It applies to income that is taxed separately from your normal wage.

The special rate can also be used if insufficient payroll tax was withheld earlier in the year. In that case, the additional payment may be taxed at a higher percentage to correct the difference.

Why is the special rate sometimes higher

The percentage used for the special rate depends on:

• Your total annual income
• The type of additional payment
• Your personal tax situation

Because the rate is calculated differently from your regular wage tax, it can range from 0% to the highest Dutch tax bracket. This may result in a higher tax deduction than you expect.

Will I get this money back?

In some cases, yes. The special rate is a prepayment of income tax. When you file your annual tax return in the Netherlands, the final amount of tax is calculated. If too much tax was withheld, you may receive a refund.

If you are unsure why a specific percentage was applied to your payslip, contact your payroll department or manager for clarification.

We provide contracts in most languages spoken by our workers so that you understand everything we ask you to sign.

Send an email to questions@b2works.nl from the email address that we have on file for you. Enclose proof of your new bank account, such as a copy of the bank card with the IBAN number and your name, or a bank statement with the same data.
We ask for this information to protect your safety.

You are entitled to a minimum amount of paid holiday days. If you work full time, you are entitled to 20 paid days off on an annual basis. You are also entitled to 5 non-statutory days. We pay these to you each week.

It’s important to coordinate and schedule your holidays with us a minimum of 2 weeks in advance.

Yes, it is usually possible to change jobs or positions through B2Works as a temporary worker. However, the availability of job opportunities and the specific process for changing jobs may depend on various factors, including B2Works’ current needs and the requirements of the new job or position you are interested in.

If you wish to switch jobs or positions within B2Works, please inform your manager what position you are interested in and discuss it with them.They will provide you with information on the available opportunities, requirements, and any necessary procedures or steps to be followed for the job change.

Any job change may be subject to the approval and agreement of both B2Works and the client companies where you will be assigned. It’s important to have open and transparent communication with B2Works to explore the possibilities and understand any applicable terms or conditions associated with the job change.

How it works:

1. Tell your manager which role you want and why.
2. B2Works checks availability and requirements (skills, location, shifts).
3. If a match is available, we discuss start date and practical details.
4. Final approval depends on B2Works and the client company.

If you come from another EU country, you do not need a work permit to work in the Netherlands through an employment agency. According to the regulations of the European Union, EU citizens have freedom of movement and the right to work in any EU member state, including the Netherlands. This means that you are entitled to work in the Netherlands without a work permit or additional authorization. However, it is important to register with the local municipality upon your arrival and obtain a Citizen Service Number (RNI Nummer or BSN). The employment agency will guide you through the necessary steps and ensure compliance with Dutch regulations. If you come from a country outside the EU, you need a work permit to work legally in the Netherlands and to be employed by our agency.
