• Monitor and process tax withholdings, social security & statutory deductions

• Handle pension enrolment and ensure accurate reporting for payroll processing

• Maintain and update employee records in our payroll system (Remote.com)

• Verify changes such as new hires, salary adjustments & terminations

• Ensure correct calculation of Dutch 30% ruling benefits for eligible employees

• Act as the primary contact for payroll-related questions

• Reconcile payroll accounts and support finance with reporting & audits

• Identify and implement improvements to streamline payroll processes

Our perfect match 💗

• 3–5 years of payroll experience, ideally in an international/multi-country environment

• Strong knowledge of Dutch payroll legislation, tax rules, social security & pensions

• Proven experience applying and calculating the 30% ruling

• Experience with payroll in Germany and/or Italy is a plus

• Skilled in working with payroll providers, HRIS/payroll systems & MS Excel
