PAWW is an additional social fee on the account of the employer (Eastmen) to ensure allowance when a person is sick or unemployed for the third year. We will deduct it, but we also add it back on your payslip further down. This is because it must be visible to authorities and the tax office. Eastmen then also pays the fee to the government.

Unfortunately, we are not able or allowed to pay you in advance. When coming to the Netherlands you should be able to pay for your living expenses until you get your first salary.

Salaries are paid out weekly on Thursdays, for the week before. So for example, in week 2 you will get the salary for week 1. Usually it takes one working day for the payments to be processed, so the next day you should have the money in your bank account. Depending on the bank you are using and the services your bank offers, it might take a bit longer for the transaction to be processed. If something is not right regarding the payment, please click on ´answer not found´ button to open a chat with us. Please contact your bank if you have a question regarding how long it takes for the transfer to be processed.

The salary specification that you receive from us is in Dutch. This is required by Dutch law. However, we translated the salary specifications to English, Romanian and Hungarian. You can send an email to [email protected] to request a copy of it.
