Being happy at work is something both Eastmen and our clients find very important. Before considering changing your job, it might help to let your recruiter know the reasons why you would like to change jobs. Who knows, maybe something can be changed in order to make you happy again. If this is not possible and you are still unhappy, your recruiter can give you more information regarding our available jobs and possibilities.

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.

No, according to Dutch law it is illegal to transfer your salary in someone else´s bank account.

Yes, that is possible. You have to notify the coordinators in a written email to [email protected] and provide a picture of your new bank account with the IBAN and your name on it. If you send the email before Tuesday, your next salary will be sent to your new bank account.

You will receive your contract digitally after you have completed your onboarding, signing the contract being the last step. Normally this happens before you arrive in the Netherlands, but exceptions might occur, depending on your situation.

Yes, at Eastmen we find it important that the living conditions of our experts are up to the standards required by our SNF certificate and that everyone has a nice room where they can relax and have some privacy.

Our houses are fully equipped and include a free Wi-Fi connection and a washing machine. In the kitchen you can find pans, plates, glasses and cutlery, as well as a fridge, cooking stove and a microwave. For sanitary reasons, you will need to bring your own blanket and bedsheets. If you think that there is something missing in the accommodation, please contact our coordinators at [email protected].

All accommodations are within a reasonable distance to work. Our policy is to place our workers as close as possible to their workplace, depending on the possibilities. However, the Netherlands is a small and overcrowded country and it is not always possible to find an accommodation that is very close to your workplace. Most people, even the Dutch, travel to their workplace 30-50 km one way daily. Their roads, highways and public transport are very good which makes travelling very easy and comfortable.

Yes, you will need to bring only a pillowcase, bedsheet and duvet cover.

You will get a Dutch contract.
