You must submit a request for holiday/leave to your employer at least 4 weeks in advance for multiple days, or at least 2 weeks in advance for a single day of leave. You should report the leave immediately in case of an urgent unforeseen situation. The employer will try to accommodate your request as much as possible.

Your rights regarding breaks during the workday as a temporary worker are determined by the regulations of the company you work with. The client may have specific policies and practices regarding breaks, including meal breaks and rest breaks. It is important to refer to the policies and guidelines of the client’s company to understand what form of break you are entitled to during the workday.

No, it is not possible to avoid paying pension contributions as this would be contrary to Dutch law.

Why pension contributions cannot be skipped

In the Netherlands, pension arrangements are often organised collectively. Depending on the sector you work in, participation in a pension scheme may be mandatory. This means you cannot simply choose to stop paying contributions to increase your net salary, even if you would prefer to arrange your retirement savings differently.

What this means for your payslip

If a pension scheme applies to your job, your payslip can include a pension deduction. In many cases, both the employer and the employee contribute. The exact amount depends on the client, sector rules, and the pension provider.
