Occupational Pension Plan
- Customer cost is 15.2% of base salary plus risk premium of approx 0,6%.
- To stay compliant with local labor laws, we require all customers to offer the occupational pension plan in the Netherlands.
- The pension base salary equals the fixed annual salary (max. €137,800 for 2024) deducted from the “franchise.” The franchise level for 2024 is €17,545. So for an annual salary level of €75,000, the pension base will be €58,678, of which 15.2% will be charged as pension premium (i.e. €8,919 p.a.). The norm percentage will be determined by law annually.
- In addition to retirement savings, our pension scheme includes death coverage (spouse’s and orphan’s pension) and disability coverage (waiver of premium).
- The employee contribution is 4.8% of pension base, which makes the total defined contribution to the pensions savings plan 20% of pension base.
Remote Mental Health Program
The rates listed here are for July 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025 policy year.
Remote has partnered with Oliva, the UK & Europe's #1 rated employee mental wellbeing platform. Oliva is available on desktop and as a mobile app and it includes:
- 1-to-1 therapy with a curated pool of top-quality therapists (35+ languages available)
- Advanced matching service to find each employee the right therapist for them within 48 hours (98% success rate)
- Personal wellbeing profile with tailored recommendations and info to track progress
- Curated self-guided content library with audio mindfulness & meditation sessions, guided yoga videos, Oliva Talks, podcasts on workplace wellbeing, and micro-learning content series for managers
- 24/7 mental health helplines for when an employee is struggling and needs to talk to someone immediately
- and more
Customers may elect to offer the mental health program benefits to their teams and can choose among 5 different plans. If one of the mental health benefit is offered, the employee will automatically be enrolled and you will be charged for it monthly. However, employees have the option to opt out of the benefit. If they choose to do so, they will be unenrolled and charges will stop effective from the next month.
It is essential to be aware that in certain countries, Mental Health benefits may be categorized as 'Benefits in Kind' (BIK). This categorization means that the monthly premiums, which the company pays for the benefit, might be counted as part of the employee's taxable income according to the local tax laws.
Pricing and benefits are subject to change in response to business and market changes and we will update you when those changes take place.

Remote's Benefits Practices
Remote supports our clients by offering competitive benefits packages that will help you attract and retain the best talent across the globe! Our benefits specialists have done the research on norms and requirements in each local market and have crafted packages that will allow your employees to thrive, no matter what country they live in.
Our core benefits (which often include things like healthcare) are required in some countries where we hire. We do not require customers to offer health benefits in the Netherlands due to its strong public system and local laws that protect us (and you!) against claims of discriminatory hiring practices. However, we do recommend that employers in the Netherlands offer health benefits to their employees, which allows them to access a wider range of options for providers and specialists as well as significantly shorter wait times. Our plans also offer global coverage (excluding the US) to protect your employees when they are traveling outside their home country. The occupational pension plan is required in order to remain compliant with local laws. We do not add a markup on any benefits premiums or administration costs.
If you would like more insight into fair equity and benefits best practices, you can download our Global Benefits Guide here!
- In the Netherlands, 50%* of employers offer supplemental health insurance to their workforce. The country has a robust public health system, and while supplemental health insurance is not required, it provides employees with access to a wider range of options for providers and specialists, as well as shorter wait times. Our plans also offer global coverage (excluding the US) to protect your employees when they are traveling outside their home country.
- More than 90%* of Dutch employers offer an occupational pension scheme to employees. Our “second pillar” pension offers pension benefits in addition to national social security coverage (first pillar). (*based on 3rd-party market research from our partners)
- The minimum requirements for a Dutch pension scheme for payroll companies (such as Remote) are set in the act “Wet Arbeidsmarkt in Balans.” Per the legislation, Remote will charge our customers the “norm premie” (norm premium) for the employees involved. The norm premium is set at 15.2% of pension base salary for 2023. The norm percentage will be determined by law annually.
- Employers can choose to opt out of offering Remote’s health benefits in the Netherlands but may not opt out of the pension plan for compliance reasons.
- You will be able to select a benefits plan when onboarding your employee (if you choose to offer health benefits). From there, the employee will be enrolled and contacted with more information about their plan. Remote takes care of all the administration work so you can focus on scaling your global team!
