Illness and disability

If an employee becomes ill, the employer will continue to pay the employee's wages for no more than two years. In the unlikely event that the employee has not yet recovered, he or she can apply for disability benefits from the UWV (WGA benefit).

Self-employed individuals have the option of purchasing disability insurance as needed. Are you a (former) self-employed person just hiring your first staff? Make sure you know about disability and liability.
