 In the Netherlands, managing sick leave follows the Wet Verbetering Poortwachter (WVP), ensuring fair treatment for both employees and employers. The process can be complex, making it essential for companies to stay compliant. Our company HRhelp.nl (https://www.hrhelp.nl/) assist international businesses in navigating these regulations.

 The WVP mandates that employers must pay a sick employee at least 70% of their salary for up to 104 weeks. After six weeks of illness, a reintegration plan is required, developed with the company doctor to facilitate the employee's return to work. Regular evaluations ensure the recovery plan is on track. If the employee cannot return after two years, they may apply for disability benefits.
