Why absenteeism deserves attention

In the Netherlands, as an employer, you continue to pay up to 104 weeks of salary in the event of illness. At the same time, the Gatekeeper Improvement Act requires file structure and reintegration steps from day 1. With the right absenteeism insurance, you cover most of the continued payment of wages, accelerate recovery and keep costs predictable.

Frequently asked questions about absenteeism insurance

Many employers have questions about absenteeism, continued payment of wages and Gatekeeper. Below you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Is absenteeism insurance mandatory?

No. Continued payment of wages in case of illness (up to 104 weeks) is mandatory. The insurance covers most of these costs and helps with reintegration.

What does the Gatekeeper Improvement Act require of me?

From day 1: file structure, action plan, evaluations and — if necessary — 2nd track. Failure to comply can lead to a wage penalty by the UWV.

How quickly is absenteeism insurance and occupational health service arranged?

After the absenteeism check, a proposal will follow within a few days. Thanks to our power of attorney, we switch faster.

Can I transfer my mortgage to another provider?

Yes, you can. Transferring can be beneficial if the current interest rate is lower than the interest rate on your current mortgage. We calculate for you what the possible costs are and whether it pays off.

How do waiting days and deductibles in case of absenteeism work?

More deductible reduces the premium. We tailor this to your cash flow and risk profile.
