Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

The correct structure depends on your situation. Answer the questions below before having the agreement drawn up.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Do you hire through a temporary employment agency or directly from another company? With a temporary employment agency, additional collective labor agreement rules often apply; with collegial hiring, you make all arrangements yourself.
Is the power coming under your direction and supervision? If so, it constitutes secondment; if not, a contract for services or a contract for work might be more appropriate.
How do you want to cover hirer's liability? For example, opt for a G-account, indemnity declarations, and verification of remittances to limit your tax risk.
What do you agree upon regarding early termination? Determine notice periods and any fees, so that you are not unexpectedly tied to a rate.
Who is responsible for insurance and safety? Specify who arranges liability and accident insurance and who provides safety instructions.
Clauses and provisions

Which components belong in a secondment agreement?

A complete secondment agreement describes not only who you hire, but also how the collaboration is arranged financially and legally. The components below form the core.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Parties and function Always Name the lender, the borrower, and the worker to be borrowed, along with a job description, so that it is clear who does what.
Management and supervision Always Stipulate that the worker works under your direction and supervision; this characterizes secondment and defines your responsibilities.
Rates and invoicing Always Describe the hourly or daily rate, surcharges, VAT, billing term, and payment term.
Duration and termination Always Determine the start and end dates or the notice period, and when the hiring can be terminated prematurely.
Replacement and suitability Often Rule on whether and how the lender provides a replacement if the worker is absent or unsatisfactory.
Liability and indemnification Always Divide the liability for damages and have the lender indemnify you for payroll taxes and social security contributions.
Working conditions and safety Always Agree on who is responsible for a safe workplace and instructions (Occupational Health and Safety Act); as the hirer, you are jointly responsible for this.
Confidentiality Often Protect business-sensitive information that the seconded worker comes into contact with.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

A signed agreement is the beginning; correct use ensures that the agreements hold up in practice and your risk remains limited.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
Before the start Sign the agreement before the power starts In this way, the rate, liability, and duration are established before work commences.
At the start of the work Provide safety and work instructions and document them As the hirer, you are jointly responsible for safe working conditions.
During the loan Check whether the lender remits payroll taxes and VAT This limits your hirer's liability towards the Tax and Customs Administration.
In case of change or termination Confirm changes and the end in writing This way, you avoid disputes regarding outstanding invoices or ongoing hiring.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

These errors occur frequently in practice and can cost you unnecessary money and legal problems.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Do not include an exemption for payroll taxes You can be held jointly and severally liable for unpaid taxes of the lender Include an indemnity and consider using a G-account.
Failure to distribute liability, or doing so unclearly In the event of damage, a protracted conflict arises over who pays Divide liability explicitly and set limits on the amount.
No agreements regarding replacement You are left without power if it fails Stipulate that the lender provides a suitable replacement in a timely manner.
Do not record verbal agreements Problems with proof in disputes regarding rates or duration Record all agreements and changes in writing.
Ignoring safety obligations Fines and liability in the event of a workplace accident Arrange safety instructions and ensure a safe workplace.
Risk profile

What is your situation and what do you pay attention to?

Not every hiring is the same. Recognize your situation and focus your attention on the right point.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Hiring through an employment agency You hire a worker through a professional temporary staffing or payroll company Pay attention to collective labor agreement provisions, certification (SNA), and the remittance of payroll taxes.
Intercompany secondment You are temporarily borrowing an employee from a partner company Clearly regulate rates, liability, and who remains the employer; operate on a non-profit basis to avoid regulations surrounding temporary staffing.
Long-term secondment The secondment is long-term or structural Assess whether no disguised employment relationship arises and pay attention to notice periods.
Hiring for high-risk work The force performs physical or safety-sensitive work Pay extra attention to safety instructions, insurance, and liability in the event of accidents.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

Sometimes a different or supplementary document suits your situation better. In that case, consider the options below.

Situation Supplementary document Why
You hire a self-employed person who organizes the work themselves Cooperation Agreement Without direction and supervision, it is not a matter of secondment, but of an assignment or collaboration.
The Force gains access to confidential data Confidentiality Agreement A separate confidentiality agreement provides additional protection for your business-sensitive information.
The seconded employee processes personal data for you Data Processing Agreement When processing personal data on your behalf, additional GDPR agreements are required.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a secondment agreement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what secondment agreements are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is a secondment agreement?
A hiring agreement is the agreement between a lender — a temporary employment agency, secondment agency, or employer — and a hirer, in which the hirer records the provision of workers who work for them under their direction and supervision. From the hirer's perspective, the hiring agreement is the counterpart to the secondment agreement: it regulates the rights and obligations of the organization that temporarily has the personnel at its disposal. The hiring agreement is relevant to the hirer's Waadi obligations — particularly the obligation to provide information regarding hirer remuneration — and to the hirer's occupational health and safety responsibilities as the de facto employer. Our lawyers draft a hiring agreement for you that is Waadi-compliant, correctly regulates the obligation to provide information regarding hirer remuneration, clearly allocates occupational health and safety liability, and anticipates the Wtta as of 2027.
What are the hirer's obligations under the Waadi?
Pursuant to Article 8 of the Waadi Act, the seconded employee is entitled to at least the same terms and conditions of employment as employees in an equivalent position at the hiring company — the hirer. The hiring company is obliged to fully inform the secondment agency in advance about the relevant terms and conditions of employment: salary scales, allowances, bonuses, leave, and pension. Your secondment agreement must explicitly stipulate this duty to inform and state that the hiring company is liable for damages suffered by the agency due to the provision of incorrect or incomplete information. The hiring company is also responsible for safe working conditions pursuant to the Working Conditions Act. Our lawyers draft a secondment agreement that correctly incorporates the Waadi obligations.
How do you prepare your secondment agreement for the Wtta as of 2027?
As of January 1, 2027, the Labour Provision Admission Act (Wtta) into force. Hirers may then only hire workers from admitted lenders registered with the Netherlands Authority for the Lending Market (NAU). Hirers who hire from non-admitted lenders will be jointly and severally liable for wage debts. As of 2027, your hiring agreement must confirm the lender's admission status and contain an indemnity clause in the event that the lender loses its admission. Our lawyers advise you on the adjustments your contract structure requires for the Wtta.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
Our lawyers draft a secondment agreement that is Waadi-compliant, establishes the obligation to provide information on the remuneration of the seconded employee, clearly allocates occupational health and safety liability, includes a legally valid transition payment, and anticipates the Wtta as of 2027.
Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document

Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
