Although based in the Netherlands, the CFC is not a regular Dutch employer but an international organisation with its own special status. Please be advised that if you are currently insured under the Dutch Social Security system, you will be excluded from this system as a staff member of the CFC and instead you will be insured under the organisation’s system.

The above also applies to your dependents unless they are employed by a regular Dutch employer, they are self-employed in the Netherlands, or are receiving Dutch social security payments.

Please refer to the website of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment for more information about the possible consequences for you and your dependents, such as exclusion from ‘AOW’ and ‘Zorgverzekeringswet’ coverage: WORKING IN AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION
