As an employer, you are required by law to continue paying wages for two years if an employee becomes ill. You must also do everything possible to get the employee back to work as quickly and responsibly as possible. This means working together with an occupational health and safety service or company doctor, complying with the Gatekeeper Act, and making sure that nothing is overlooked. If you do not do this properly, the UWV can impose a wage sanction - and of course you want to avoid that.
At Schouten Verzuim, we understand that as an employer, you often don't have the time or knowledge to handle the entire absence process yourself. That is why we offer a complete solution. You simply register a sick employee in our digital absence system. Then we take you through the process step by step.
One of our absence consultants accompanies you from the time you report sick to the time of recovery or reintegration. He or she pays attention to the legal obligations, helps you take the right steps in time and contacts you when a decision is needed from you.
With Schouten Verzuim, you do not have to make your own arrangements with various parties. We take care of absence management, call in the company doctor when necessary, assist you with reintegration and ensure that you comply with the law. So you know for sure that everything is well taken care of - and that you can focus on your business.
Understanding obligations and legislation
Do you know exactly what you need to do according to the Gatekeeper Improvement Act? And when to take action towards the UWV? No worries: your absence consultant keeps track of it all. This way you avoid mistakes and fines and you know for sure that you are complying with all obligations.
So you don't have to delve into complicated rules or elaborate roadmaps - we do that for you.
Support from a dedicated Absenteeism Consultant
You will receive personal support from an absence consultant who:
Advising you on the right time for action
you assist in contacting the company doctor
You assist in preparing documents and filling out the appropriate forms
and coaches you in making the best choices for recovery or reintegration.

Use of company doctor: only when necessary
The company doctor is called in only when necessary - on the initiative of the absence consultant. Think, for example, of making a problem analysis or performing a medical assessment. The use of the doctor is part of the subscription, so you pay nothing extra for this.
