Document background
The Overcontract (Secondment Agreement) is essential in situations where organizations need to temporarily transfer employees while maintaining their original employment relationship. This arrangement is common in the Netherlands for project-based work, knowledge sharing, or temporary capacity needs. The agreement carefully balances the interests of all parties involved, ensuring compliance with Dutch employment law, including WAADI and the Dutch Civil Code. The Overcontract specifically addresses crucial elements such as supervision arrangements, working conditions, remuneration structures, and liability allocation between the Home Employer and Host Company. It's particularly relevant in scenarios involving specialized expertise sharing, project assignments, or temporary organizational needs, while ensuring proper protection of employee rights and clear delineation of responsibilities between all parties.
