The Horeca Development Platform (HOP) will start on 1 April 2025. HOP is an initiative of social partners Koninklijke Horeca Nederland (KHN), CNV and De Horecabond. The platform was established to strengthen the hospitality industry. With projects that ensure better cooperation, good training and a positive image of the hospitality industry.
Start 1 April 2025 withholding premium employees
With the start of HOP, premium collection also starts. The social partners have agreed that employers and employees jointly contribute 0.2% of gross wages to HOP. The full premium remittance will be through the employer. This means that from 1 April 2025, you as an employer will deduct 0.1% from the gross salary of your employees and pay this to HOP together with the employer contribution of 0.1%. The contribution is mandatory for all employers and employees in the hospitality industry.
First invoice in autumn 2025
You will receive the first invoice in the autumn. From then on, you will receive a premium invoice of 0.2% of your gross wage bill at the end of each quarter. With the HOP premium, we build the future of our sector together. This way, the hotel and catering industry remains an attractive place to work, develop and do business.
