If, after two years'  sick leave you are unable to work either in part or in full, you may be eligible to receive benefit, a WIA-uitkering  (Wet Werk en Inkomen naar Arbeidsvermogen).

You will find further details about the WIA on the UWV website: http://www.uwv.nl/wia/index.aspx

Sick pay is 70% of your daily rate of pay. It is paid from the third day you are sick. The benefit authority, UWV, usually calculates your daily rate of pay on the basis of the pay used for social security purposes, the sociale verzekeringsloon (SV-loon) that you earned in the prior to becoming sick. Consult www.uwv.nl for details of these amounts.

When you are better, you should let us know via my.tentoo, and of course also inform the client where you're working.
Tentoo will then inform the UWV.
If you don't use my.tentoo, you can also let us know you're better by calling 020 420 20 70.

Whenever you are unable to work due to sickness, you must let us know on the first day you are sick via my.tentoo.nl. Of course you also need to inform the client where you are working. Tentoo will then inform the benefit authority, the UWV. If you do not inform us on time, the UWV may apply a financial penalty.
If you don't use my.tentoo, you can let us know you are sick by calling 020 420 20 70.
We will send you a mail to confirm we have received notification that you are sick. The UWV will also send you a letter.

Pregnant employees are entitled to at least 16 weeks' maternity leave. During this period the UWV will pay maternity benefit. This is calculated on your average daily income over a period of four weeks, or one month, immediately prior to your maternity leave. Note: There is a maximum amount you may receive, details can be found at www.uwv.nl.

You can choose when to take your maternity leave, starting from between six and four weeks prior to the due date of birth.

You will find further information on maternity benefit at www.uwv.nl

Note: Tentoo applies for the maternity benefit on your behalf. To enable us to do so, you must fill in the form ‘Aanvraag WAZO-uitkering’ and return it to Tentoo together with your proof of pregnancy statement (Zwangerschapsverklaring) no later than five weeks prior to the date you wish to start your maternity leave.

From the moment you know that you are likely to become unemployed, you can apply for unemployment benefit (WW-uitkering) from the UWV via www.werk.nl. You will first have to register with the WERKbedrijf (previously called CWI) via the site as someone who is looking for work (werkzoekende). To do so, you will need a DigiD.

Once you have spoken to the UWV, they will send an employer's declaration (werkgeversverklaring) toTentoo, so you don't need to ask us for one in advance.

If there is no longer work or sufficient work available for you, you may apply for unemployment benefit (WW-uitkering).
Your eligibility and the level of any benefit depend on a number of criteria:

• You must have been in paid employment prior to becoming unemployed
  This is the case when social security premiums have been deducted from your pay
• The length of time you have been employed is important
• Your availability for work
• The reason you became unemployed

Cyclical work
Even if you meet all the necessary criteria, you may still only be eligible for partial benefit. This may be the case if you have cyclical work. If the client always has no available work in the same months of the year and the employee always applies for benefit in those months, the UWV may rule that this is a case of cyclical work. The UWV is of the opinion that the client is abusing the benefit system to avoid paying salary during quieter months.
There are no specific rules on this.
