Sick employees are entitled to at least 70% of their salary for one year and no more than 70% of their salary for a second year.
Paid maternity leave is 16 weeks, 4-6 weeks of which must be taken before the due date and the rest after the birth. Payments are typically made by employers but reimbursed by the Employee Insurance Agency. If pregnancy/childbirth leaves a mother unfit to return to work, she is entitled to receive 100% of her salary for one year.
Paid paternity leave is for one week to be taken after the child's birth. This can be supplemented by five weeks of unpaid leave taken in the first six months after the birth. Employees can claim up to 70% of their salary during this period from the Employment Insurance Agency.
Termination processes vary according to the type of contract, the reason for termination, the employment agreement, and any collective agreements that are in place.
Statutory notice periods in The Netherlands are determined by the employee's length of service:
Severance payment amounts are set out in employment contracts/collective agreements. The minimum amount is one-third of the employee's regular salary for each year employed, up to an 84,000 EUR maximum.
The length of any probationary period is normally set in the employee's contract or any collective agreement. Standard probation periods in The Netherlands are two months.
