What we do

The purpose of these certifications is to be transparent. As a client, you can therefore be certain that we fulfil all our obligations, including verification of identity, checking whether a worker has a work permit, and paying the relevant taxes on time. The companies behind these certifications control these steps to ensure that your experience with us is transparent and positive.

Companies often fear chain liability, and rightly so! Chain liability means that when you hire workers through an employment agency, you can be held liable for any overdue wage costs, payroll tax, or unpaid turnover tax. To exclude chain liability, IFJ has obtained various certifications. The independent parties that issue these certifications check that IFJ complies with these rules to prevent chain liability. Thanks to these certifications, IFJ is one of the most reliable partners in the temporary employment sector.

The way in which International Flex Job B.V. operates is geared towards giving job seekers a fair chance at a decent job. During the recruitment and selection process, job seekers are treated equally because they are assessed solely on the basis of job-related criteria. Review our non-discrimination policy.

 

How we work

SNA-certified companies are assessed to check whether they fulfil their labour obligations:

  • Identification of the company;

  • The declaration and payment of payroll tax and turnover tax due (in the Netherlands);

  • Wage payment not in violation of the Minimum Wage and Minimum Holiday Allowance Act;

  • Performing identity checks and checking whether you are entitled to work in the Netherlands;

  • Preventing risks of liability and fines arising from hiring, seconding or outsourcing work.

All of this, including the administration and storage of the required documents.

    How we work

    SNA-certified companies are audited based on the NEN 4400-1 requirements regarding labour:

    • Identification of the companies;

    • Correct declaration;

    • Payment of payroll taxes and turnover tax to the Tax and Customs Administration;

    • Whether wage payments comply with the Minimum Wage and Minimum Holiday Allowance Act;

    • Checking the worker’s identity and whether they are entitled to work in the Netherlands;

    • Whether the organisation has fines arising from seconding or outsourcing work.

    SNF certification

    Stichting Normering Flex Wonen (the Foundation for flexible housing standards) was established following the National Declaration on the Temporary Housing of Migrant Workers, which was signed on 28 March 2012 by a large number of signatories, such as the Minister of the Interior, the VNG (Association of Netherlands Municipalities), the Aedes Association of Housing Corporations, ABU (the largest association of Dutch private employment agencies), the NBBU, VIA, LTO Nederland, Productschap Vee en Vlees, the Christian National Trade Union Federation (CNV), the FNV (Federation of Dutch Trade Unions), the Polish Consultation Platform in the Netherlands and various municipalities.

    The signatories have, among other things, committed to making an effort to establish standards for good housing in collective bargaining agreements and in certification, and to set up a system to enforce these standards that inspires trust.

    This certification is proof that we meet the standard for housing for migrant workers.

As an NBBU member, we are regularly audited to check whether we adhere to the NBBU Collective Bargaining Agreement. Temporary workers appreciate the fact that we are affiliated with this organisation, as this means that they can be sure that we adhere to the collective bargaining agreement (which includes provisions on paying wages on time, for example).
