• Your employee is still too ill to work when their employment contract ends.
• You will have to pay your return-to-work service provider (‘re-integratiebedrijf’) more than 70% of what your employee will be earning up to the end of their contract.

For more information, visit Will UWV help pay for the return-to-work process? (in Dutch).

Please note: If you are self-insured, you are personally responsible for your employee’s return-to-work process. This means you will not be able to request return-to-work support.

To request return-to-work support, complete the ‘Request return-to-work support form’ (‘Verzoek participatie in re-integratie’).

You will need to submit the following documents along with the form:

• a copy of the Evaluation (‘Probleemanalyse’), the Action plan (‘Plan van aanpak’) and, if applicable, any changes to the Action plan or Evaluation (‘Bijstellingen’)
• a proposal for an initial return-to-work plan along with an estimate of the costs
• a recent payslip

If you do not send us these documents, we will not be able to process your request. You can send the form and the documents to the address specified on the form.

We will send you a confirmation letter within 2 weeks of receiving your form. If you want us to be involved in your employee’s return-to-work process, we will first need to check your return-to-work plan.

If you plan to hire a return-to-work service provider, we will need to check whether this provider meets our quality criteria.
