Career path
Foreman: hourly supplement. Partner: a share of the projects you bring in.
Under temporary protection you may work without a work permit (TWV) only as an employee (as of 07.11.2026). That is why we employ our crews. The truth about freelancing →
Where the money goes
What the client pays for an hour of your work, and where each euro goes.How to read your payslip
A payslip is only scary the first time. Five lines you need to know:
Living in an opvang?
With an income you pay a contribution for the housing and lose part of the leefgeld. The calculator below works out your take-home pay; if in doubt, a coordinator will go through it with you on the call.
Take-home calculator →What you take home
Enter your gross hourly rate and weekly hours: the calculator shows an estimate of your take-home pay under the 2026 rules.
The 2026 parameters are still being checked against the Belastingdienst calculator: this is an estimate, not a payslip.
The calculator does not include the effect of opvang (contribution and leefgeld): we show it only once the rules have been verified.
Razom Academy
We prepare you for working on a Dutch site. We never charge our crews for training.
VCA Basis
You can take VCA Basic in Ukrainian and Russian: the PBNA exam has Ukrainian voice-over, while VOL offers only NL/EN/DE/FR.
NEN 1010 / 3140 basics
What NEN 1010 and NEN 3140 are and why they matter for electricians.
Site safety
Protective gear, the risk check before work (LMRA) and what to do after an incident.
Dutch for the building site
Words and phrases for the building site: tools, materials, safety and talking to the client.
Questions from crew members
What people ask on the first call.Which documents do I need?
An identity document, proof of your temporary-protection status and your BSN. We confirm the exact list on the call. We never keep your original documents.
I have no experience. Will you take me?
Yes, as a helper. The trial day shows what you can do. We train you in the crew and your rate grows with your skills.
I am a ZZP freelancer now. Can I work with you as ZZP?
Under temporary protection, no: we only take such workers on in employment, with an employment contract. With an EU passport or permanent residence, yes, as a subcontractor: see “Partners”.
What about sick leave and holidays?
You are employed, so the Dutch rules on employee sickness apply to you. We explain how to report sick and how sick pay works before you start; the terms are in your contract and collective agreement. You receive 8% holiday pay (vakantiegeld). Holiday days and the rules for taking them are in your contract and collective agreement.
Can I combine it with other work?
Yes, if it does not get in the way of the crew's schedule. Tell us on the call and we will find a suitable arrangement.
What happens after March 2028?
As of 07.11.2026 temporary protection runs until 4 March 2028 (IND). The government plans a transitiedocument; working as an employee should remain possible, but the details have not been decided.
What happens to my opvang if I work?
Your own income affects your leefgeld and the opvang contribution (115% norm, Handreiking of July 2025). Exact amounts depend on your situation and municipality; ask your gemeente before you sign.
Which collective agreement and what pay?
Pay follows the applicable collective agreement. You see which agreement and what rate in the contract before you sign.
What if I do not speak Dutch?
Our conversation is in Ukrainian or Russian. The crew lead or our NL/EN contact talks to the client. You learn site words and safety in Razom Academy.
