Foreign employers from the EEA or Switzerland are required to report their activities and the arrival of workers who will temporarily work in the Netherlands via the Dutch online notification portal at postedworkers.nl. They must do this before the start of the assignment.
In some cases self-employed persons must also report their activities in advance. The report makes it easier for the government to check if companies are complying with the rules.
The foreign employer, the self-employed person with a duty to report and the client may be fined (Dutch) if they ignore the duty to report.
