To find out how long you need to pay your employee a sickness benefit, you can submit a request via Digipoort. If you prefer, you can complete the evaluation form (‘Beoordeling duur Ziektewet-uitkering’) and email it to info.erzw@uwv.nl.

You will need to provide the date on which your employee or former employee first became ill. Please also have the following details close at hand:

• your payroll tax number (‘loonheffingennummer’)
• your self-insured contributions code (‘sector en risicopremiegroep’)
• your employee’s name, citizen service number (‘BSN’) and date of birth

The current cost of this service is 12 euros.

You can expect our evaluation  within 4 weeks of receiving your application. You will also receive a letter from us with information on how to pay for the evaluation.
