Yes, our coordinators will pick you up from the airport or from the train/bus station. They will drive you to the accommodation. This is a one time service.

Unfortunately, we are not able or allowed to pay you in advance. When coming to the Netherlands you should be able to pay for your living expenses until you get your first salary.

Salaries are paid out weekly on Thursdays, for the week before. So for example, in week 2 you will get the salary for week 1. Usually it takes one working day for the payments to be processed, so the next day you should have the money in your bank account. Depending on the bank you are using and the services your bank offers, it might take a bit longer for the transaction to be processed. If something is not right regarding the payment, please click on ´answer not found´ button to open a chat with us. Please contact your bank if you have a question regarding how long it takes for the transfer to be processed.

The amount of people living in an accommodation depends on how big the house/apartment is and how many bedrooms it has. Most accommodations have 3 or 4 bedrooms.

You are entitled to 25 days of paid holiday leave per year if you work on a full-time basis. However, you first need to work and build up those days before you can take any time off.

You can use the Eastmen car for private trips but only in the Netherlands. You are not allowed to use the car for private purposes outside of the Netherlands.

During times when you’re away on holiday and not utilizing the room, Eastmen continues to cover the rental costs. This allows us to make the room available for others in need of accommodation.

If you’re planning to leave your belongings in the room while you’re away and wish to return to the same space afterwards, you have the option to take over the payment for the vacation period. This payment amounts to 100 euros per week and ensures the room remains reserved exclusively for you during your absence.

Alternatively, if you choose not to cover the rental expenses for the vacation period, we kindly request that you remove all your personal belongings from the room and leave the room clean. This will enable us to prepare the space for someone else to use.
