Netherlands profile

Rock Payroll is a Haarlem payrolling and Employer of Record specialist that employs highly skilled migrants from outside the EU on its own payroll and seconds them to Dutch-registered client companies. It trades through Rock Payroll B.V. (KvK 66059178, VAT NL856378598B01), a private limited company dating from 2016 according to Creditsafe and registered under SBI code 78201 (employment agencies). Company.info lists DTA Group B.V. as managing director since 2016, which fits the firm's statement that it is part of the Dutch Tax Advice Group; managing director Mark Bastiaans, named in earlier directory research, could not be confirmed in a register and remains unverified.

Its compliance credentials are checkable. Rock Payroll B.V. appears on the IND public register of recognised sponsors for highly skilled migrants and in the SNA register (NEN 4400-1) at Wagenweg 66, Haarlem. The SNA listing covers only the 'aanneming van werk' (contracting) module, not 'ter beschikking stellen van arbeid' (supplying labour), which is the module usually expected for secondment, so buyers should ask about this. Waadi registration could not be checked directly in the KvK register and is unverified.

Pricing is published: EUR 1,500 initial set-up (employment and secondment contracts, labour-law briefing, draft cost calculation and IND application, with IND fees excluded) and EUR 750 per month, with 30% ruling and share-plan advice on request. The site states that IND decisions normally take three to four weeks but can take up to three months, and that salaries are paid on the 25th. The service is narrow: non-EU knowledge migrants for Dutch-registered employers, not a general EOR for EU nationals or for foreign companies with no Dutch presence. No G2, Trustpilot, Capterra or Google rating was found.

Services in Netherlands

Employer of Record and payrolling	Rock Payroll B.V. becomes the legal employer and seconds the employee to the client, which directs the day-to-day work. It drafts the employment contract and the linked client agreement, runs monthly payroll with wage tax and social security contributions, pays salaries on the 25th and applies an adequate pension scheme for payroll employees where the law requires one.
Highly skilled migrant sponsorship	As an IND recognised sponsor it files the highly skilled migrant (kennismigrant) application itself, so the client does not need its own sponsor status. It checks the salary thresholds (its 2026 article cites EUR 5,942, EUR 4,357 and EUR 3,122 per month by category), works with an immigration professional on the application and guides residence-permit collection and TB test requirements.
IND sponsor support for clients	For clients that want their own recognised-sponsor status it offers guidance on the IND application and business plans, as an alternative to the secondment route.
30% ruling and tax advisory	Through the Dutch Tax Advice Group it prepares 30% ruling applications, advises on share-based pay, bonuses and extraordinary payments, restructures agreements and files employees' personal income-tax returns. These are priced on request.
Relocation and municipality registration	Supports partner and children residence permits, BSN or RNI registration at the municipality and health-insurance selection, and explains employees' tax and immigration obligations.
Umbrella and payroll services	Also markets umbrella-company and payroll-only services for hiring without a Dutch entity; terms for these are not published separately.

Strengths and watch-outs in Netherlands

✓ IND recognised sponsor in its own name, confirmed on the IND public register, so non-EU highly skilled migrants can be hired without the client becoming a sponsor.
✓ Own Dutch entity, Rock Payroll B.V. (KvK 66059178), listed in the SNA (NEN 4400-1) register at its Haarlem address.
✓ Flat published pricing of EUR 1,500 set-up and EUR 750 a month, with a clear list of what the set-up covers.
✓ 30% ruling, share-plan and personal tax filing handled in-house through the Dutch Tax Advice Group, which suits relocating knowledge migrants.
✓ A clear eight-step process with realistic IND timelines (3 to 4 weeks normally, up to 3 months) and a fixed salary date on the 25th.
✗ The SNA listing covers only the 'aanneming van werk' module, not 'ter beschikking stellen van arbeid'; buyers should ask for the current SNA certificate covering secondment and confirm Waadi registration, which could not be verified.
✗ Narrow scope: built for non-EU knowledge migrants seconded to Dutch-registered employers, not for EU nationals or foreign companies without a Dutch presence.
✗ No ratings were found on G2, Trustpilot or Capterra; the Google rating was not verified.
✗ The fee page lists salary, employer costs and pension under the EUR 750 heading, and deposits, minimum term and notice are not published, so the full monthly invoice should be confirmed.
✗ Registered director is a holding company (DTA Group B.V.); the named individual director could not be verified in a register.
