In this webinar, we will delve into the main things you need to know to protect your rights as an employee, as well as the best practices to do so. Remember, the more you know, the better a position you will be to make the decisions that benefit you.

In this special webinar, we will cover the following:

• Employment contracts – what am I signing?

It’s not uncommon that expats get confused or, even worse yet, taken advantage of because they don’t know the rules, rights, or their obligations. Furthermore, internationals are afraid to get into litigation, get legal support, or take an employer to court because they may not know the system. Doing this in Dutch is even scarier. Join us for this free webinar as we help you navigate this intricate, employee-friendly legal system!

However, with only 18 million inhabitants, this tiny country needs help to support its growth. Hence the creation of the highly skilled migrant visa (HSM) and 30% ruling.
