Sickness Benefits (ZW) services
Do you have employees who leave your organisation while still on sick leave? We’re here to support you with all the steps required of you as an employer under the Dutch Sickness Benefits Act.
We assist with absenteeism management, calculate sickness benefit entitlements for former employees, and take care of the benefit administration and payments.
Self-insurance for the Sickness Benefits Act
You can choose for self-insurance for the Sickness Benefits Act (ZW ERD). This gives you more control over the absenteeism, recovery, and reintegration of former sick employees—as well as better grip on the associated costs.
However, this also comes with considerable administrative responsibilities and legal obligations, which require specialist knowledge.
Meijers helps you manage this with:
Sickness Benefit payment administration (ZW)
- Determining eligibility and calculating the benefit amount
- Managing benefit administration
- Handling benefit payments
- Requesting official decisions (beschikkingen) from the UWV
Sickness Benefit occupational health services (ZW)
- Managing absenteeism and reintegration in accordance with the Gatekeeper Improvement Act (Wet verbetering Poortwachter)
- Implementing formal measures (e.g. reducing or stopping benefit payments)
Control your costs
Together with Meijers Vitaal, we offer a solution that helps you, as an employer, manage the risks of disability among former employees.
The goal is to take control of the sick leave process by reducing the duration of absence and, consequently, the duration of Sickness Benefit payments.
We take over the reins so you stay in control.
