Q&A – How much is my contribution invoice? And when should it be paid?
The amount on your contribution invoice and the time of payment depend on various factors. But what does it actually entail?
How is the size of my contribution determined?
How much you pay depends on two criteria.
- The size of your company: based on the number of employees and the level of your internal safety officer, your organisation falls into category A, B, C+, C, D, or M.
- Your legally assigned NACE code based on your principal activity.
These two factors determine which of the five tariff groups your organisation falls into. For each tariff group, the minimum contribution per employee is set by law. You pay a contribution for each employee, regardless of whether he or she is subject to the health exam.
Why do I receive an annual or quarterly invoice?
How often you receive an invoice depends on your total annual contribution.
- If it amounts to less than €3,000, you will receive one invoice per year. The amount on the invoice is calculated on the basis of the number of employees you have on 1 January of that year.
- If your total annual contribution is €3,000 or more, you will receive a quarterly invoice. At the beginning of each quarter, we look at how many employees you have in order to determine your contribution.
For employees who were not registered for an entire calendar year, you will pay one-twelfth of the flat-rate contribution for every month they are registered.
Did Mensura provide an individual service to an employee? Then you pay the full annual rate for him or her.
When does the interim or final adjustment take place?
It is possible that your number of employees changes throughout the year, and therefore your contribution will also increase or decrease. You may pay too little or too much. An interim and/or final adjustment corrects that difference.
- Do you receive an annual invoice? Then there is an interim adjustment in July and a final adjustment in January or February of the following year. We calculate the difference between invoicing required and interim invoicing already carried out.
- Do you receive a quarterly invoice? In that case, there will be no interim adjustment. After all, we look at how many employees you employ at the start of each quarter. There will be a final adjustment in January or February of the following year. Here, too, we calculate the difference between invoicing required and interim invoicing already carried out.
