Health insurance & pension
Is health insurance required, and who arranges it?
Health insurance is compulsory from the start of your employment in the Netherlands. Haldu Groep arranges your policy with HollandZorg and makes sure your health insurance card is sent to your home address — you do not have to set this up yourself. Read more: Health Insurance & Pension.
Who pays the HollandZorg premium?
The premium is yours to pay and is settled through payroll.
What is zorgtoeslag, and can my coordinator help?
You may be able to reclaim part of the health insurance cost through zorgtoeslag (a tax allowance). Ask your coordinator if you would like help with that.
When does my StiPP pension start?
Your pension is built through StiPP, the pension fund for the staffing sector. Accrual starts from your first workday. Haldu Groep registers you and handles the administration; your own contribution is deducted through payroll.

At Haldu Groep, safety comes first. We want the professionals we employ to hold a valid VCA diploma — so you know how to work safely and the risk of accidents stays as low as possible. Learn more on Safety & VCA.
What if I do not have a VCA yet?
