HR Operations Specialist

Amsterdam, Netherlands / Remote

Due to the anticipated growth in the Netherlands, we are expanding our HR Operations Team for the Benelux region. This hybrid role can be performed remotely from either Belgium or the Netherlands, with the expectation to visit the office once per month. The position will primarily focus on managing the NL payroll, specifically for our workers' compensation processes. The location will be determined based on the candidate's expertise and preference.

Wherever required the employee is to function as a back-up for the other team members during absences and reports to the HR Operations Team Lead Benelux.

HR Operations include work across multiple administration areas for established HR and rewards programs including:

  • HR employment issues (hiring and termination processes and labor law issues, contract renewals and dismissals, trainee programs, expatriates, control/process of retirement, etc.)
  • Personnel records maintenance (job history, retirement, and insurance documentation, leave accrual records and details of illness, absences, transfers, salary progression, etc.)
  • Statistical reporting to internal management (employee demographics, skills inventory, absenteeism, overtime, employee turnover) and external agencies (e.g., government agencies, insurance companies, unions, etc.)
  • Rewards program implementation and administration (e.g., compensation administration, employee benefits administration, etc.)
