Frequently asked questions about Cross-border employment
How does U-People support international workforce deployment?
U-People supports organisations with the international deployment of technical professionals. We advise on the most suitable employment structure and guide the entire process, ensuring professionals can be deployed efficiently and in compliance with applicable legislation.
Can U-People help if we do not have a legal entity in the country where the professional will work?
Yes. If your organisation does not have a legal entity in the country of employment, we can help identify the most suitable solution. Where required, we introduce you to one of our trusted payroll partners who can provide local payroll and employer-of-record services.
What is the Pay-per-Day model?
For international organisations with their own legal entity outside the Netherlands, U-People offers a flexible Pay-per-Day model. Instead of paying a one-time recruitment fee, you pay a transparent daily rate during the deployment period. This model offers flexibility, predictable costs and is particularly suitable for international projects.
Does U-People provide guidance on legal compliance?
Yes. We advise organisations on the relevant legislation and regulations relating to international employment and support them throughout the process to ensure professionals can be deployed compliantly.

Our services are ideal for international projects within shipbuilding, yacht building, offshore, dredging, the maritime supply industry, ports and the Defence sector, where international deployment, flexibility and compliance are essential.
