The entire process from submitting a non-binding application to the first working day can take up to 3 months. It all depends on how quickly your security clearance is processed, which is crucial. Therefore, it is necessary to address the application in advance.
The exact salary is calculated based on hours worked, currently applicable collective agreements, and whether the hours were worked during bonus times. The average taxed salary is around €650 per week, which is about €2,600 per month.
Your first payment will be made one week after you start working. After that, you will receive payments every Thursday. The basic hourly wages for 2025 can be viewed here.
The payslip, which is delivered to the employee on the employer's portal, looks like this.
The mediation contract that we sign before departure guarantees you the conclusion and terms of the employment contract. You can review it after logging into our portal. The employment and accommodation contract is subsequently concluded after arrival and picking up the registration BSN number at the municipal office in the Netherlands (without the BSN number it would not be valid).
The correct procedure regarding insurance is to deregister from the Czech health insurance system and register with the Dutch system. Insurance prices in the Netherlands are similar to those in the Czech Republic, approximately €150-160 per month.
The place of work in our Dutch program is Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. Although Amsterdam is only a 15-minute train ride to the east, most of the accommodation we provide is located in cities to the west of the airport (Nieuwe Vennep, Rijsenhout, Aalsmeer, Leiden...). The reason is the high cost of living throughout the Netherlands, and the highest in Amsterdam.
Our goal is to minimize your initial accommodation costs. We arrange accommodation through the SNF-certified company Mployment Housing, or certified accommodation is provided directly by the employer. The housing arrangements are mostly apartments with 2-4 bedrooms, a bathroom, toilet, kitchen, and internet connection.
Accommodation costs will therefore amount to about one fifth of your weekly salary. A great advantage is that you do not have to pay high amounts for rent in advance, but only from your earned income.
Examples of accommodation prices:
The company accommodates over 450 Czechs and Slovaks, so we cannot list all addresses. If you have any questions or preferences, please let us know.
Within the long-term program, it is of course possible to arrange your own housing after some time with your colleagues (usually it is necessary to prove sufficient income and pay a deposit of two to three rents, which are around €1500 - €2000). This option is therefore financially more demanding.
Other living costs in the Netherlands are basically similar to the costs to be expected in the Czech Republic. Primary expenses include food, toiletries, and any transportation costs (these are partially or fully covered by the employer, and in some locations it is also possible to get to work completely free by bike).
With the job placement we provide abroad, it can easily turn into a long-term job or even a new stage in your life. It all depends on your goal, motivation, and discipline leading to its achievement. Decide for yourself whether you want a shorter experience with a decent pocket money or whether working in the Netherlands is a springboard for your big plans.
