Understanding Long-Term Illness Reporting

According to the Dutch law Poortwachter, an employer has to report the status of a sick employee periodically to the Arbodienst. Depending on the branch of the Arbodienst and the contract that an employer has with the Arbodienst, several deadlines may apply. The most common among these are reports that need to be sent to the Arbodienst and the Social Security agency when an employee is ill for 8 weeks, 13 weeks, and/or 52 weeks.
