Why contractor management?

Why use contractor management in the Netherlands?

The Netherlands has strict rules on contractor classification. The Dutch tax authority (Belastingdienst) actively enforces rules against "schijnzelfstandigheid" (false self-employment). Misclassifying an employee as a contractor can lead to back taxes, social security liabilities, and penalties.

Using a contractor management solution like Jackson & Frank helps you engage contractors compliantly: we assess classification, provide Dutch-law contracts (including modelovereenkomsten), handle payroll and invoicing, and monitor ongoing compliance. If a role becomes permanent, we can convert contractors to employees via our Netherlands EOR.

This protects your business, keeps contractors happy with proper agreements and timely payments, and gives you flexibility to scale your Dutch workforce without setting up a local entity.
