What is payroll?

More and more companies are starting to use payroll services. Not only because they focus on recruitment, but also because with payroll services they hand over the legal and administrative human resource tasks to payroll companies like Dutch Umbrella Company. If you are working with a payroll company, it is important to know:

  • The payroll company is the legal employer and takes care of all employer-related matters.
  • The client company is responsible for the daily management and supervision.

How does payroll work for you?

Companies recruit employees for their own organization. During the job interviews, you and the company agree on the terms of employment, such as salary and the length of your contract. Afterwards, the company informs the payroll company about the agreed terms of employment and the payroll company takes it from there.

The payroll company takes care of the following:

  • The correct employment contract and conditions.
  • Paying the right amount of salary on time.
  • The financial and administrative hassle.
