As it is very easy these days to do your work from home or another location, working from abroad may seem like a great idea. However, there are a number of risks and rules associated with working from abroad. We would like to inform you about the possibilities.
First, the good news
As a student, do you work in the Netherlands first? And then a maximum of 1 month from abroad? That is allowed: there are almost no risks.
Are you going to work from abroad for longer than 1 month?
Then, unfortunately, this is not allowed via Campus Detachering. This is because we then have to deal with local labour and tax laws. These vary from country to country.
For example:
1. Social security contributions. These have to be paid abroad (we have to hire a company abroad to do this).
2. An A1 certificate may be required.
3. The labour law of the country from which work is done may apply.
4. There is a risk of reduced data protection. A data breach is untraceable (when, how and where).
Because of the relatively small jobs (few hours), high costs and the often complex organization, it is not possible for Campus Detachering to carry out tax and social security payments in this way.
For these reasons, students are allowed to work from abroad via Campus Detachering for a maximum of 1 month. However, you must have been working in the Netherlands via Campus Detachering prior to this.
Global Staff Services
Is it necessary to work abroad for a longer period of time, for example because no other student can be found who can do the work from the Netherlands?
In that case, we are happy to refer you to Global Staff Services: GSS.
