?? Hiring in the Netherlands or Slovakia? If so, you’ll want to prioritize workforce classification.. Why? ???? Even though you have until the end of 2026 to fully comply with the EU Platform Worker Directive (PWD), some countries are already taking action.: ???? The Netherlands is actively enforcing the DBA Act (Deregulation of the Assessment of Employment Relationships) to prevent companies from misclassifying employees as freelancers. ???? In Slovakia, authorities are modifying the definition of “dependent work” and cracking down on “bogus self-employment.” As the PWD continues to unfold, our EU experts are ready to help you comply.
