30% Ruling
What does the 30% ruling mean?
In employment, the employer can reimburse the extraterritorial costs of the employee tax-free. To be able to do this the employee must hand over all the receipts and the employer must check and approve them. This can lead to a lot of work, especially if more employees are in a similar situation. To make it easier employers and employees can request the tax office (foreign tax office in Heerlen) to grant the 30% ruling to the employee for his activities for the employer. This way the employer can, once granted, pay out a tax-free allowance of (roughly said) 30% of the salary of the employee. Verder lezen →
Salary slip

You will receive a salary slip for each 4 week payment period. The salary slip will be sent to your private e-mail address and will provide the following information:
Payment of salary

Abroad Experience pays the salaries to the temporary employees on its payroll on a 4 weekly basis. At the contract signing, you will receive a salary schedule outlining when Abroad Experience needs to receive your time sheets and when the salary payments will take place. We will also need to receive your IBAN bank account number into which you would like the salary to be deposited.
Pension

If you are older than 21 years old and you have worked for over 26 weeks on an Abroad Experience contract, you are entitled to build up a pension fund. Abroad Experience, as a recruitment agency, offers it to its employees via StiPP (Stichting Pensionfonds voor Personeeldiensten). On a monthly basis, we send information to StiPP concerning the salary earned and the amount of hours worked by all temporary employees entitled to pension and we are then invoiced by StiPP based on that information.
Reservations
When working for Abroad Experience in Phase A of a temporary contract, you (the Temporary Employee) are only paid for the hours actually worked. For every worked hour you will accumulate reservations (additional income). The size of the reserves is shown on the payslip that you will receive after every 4 week payment period.
