Common use of Social Security Legislation Clause in Contracts

Social Security Legislation. Employees who are residents of the Netherlands are obliged to be insured by virtue of Dutch employer and national insurance. Employees who undertake steps no longer to remain Dutch residents shall notify the employer of this in advance. If the employee is not covered by the compulsory insurance prior to deployment or cannot be covered by the compulsory insurance during the deployment by virtue of Dutch social security legislation, insofar as possible, the employer will take out comparable private or voluntary insurance for the employee. The employee is obliged to provide his/her cooperation in taking out the voluntary or private insurance. In the event that the employee does not promptly inform the employer that he/she is no longer or shall not remain to be a Dutch resident or, if this is necessary, does not cooperate with taking out voluntary or private insurance, a situation can arise in which the employee is not insured. The employer is in that case not liable for the consequences of the employee’s uninsured status.
