Part of the agreement is a deposit of two weeks’ rent. Should your employment contract end, you will be given sufficient time to arrange other housing or work. This offers you clarity and security.

How do I get to my workplace? Does Pollux arrange transportation?
If you do not have your own transportation, you may be eligible for appropriate transportation. The type of transportation depends on the distance between your residence and work.
- Is your work within a 30-minute bike ride? Then you get a Pollux bike.
- Is the distance greater? Then you can travel together with colleagues in a Pollux car.
Do you have a driving license valid in the Netherlands and are you willing to drive a Pollux car with colleagues? Then you will receive a daily allowance for this. Moreover, for the driver, travel time is considered as working time. This way we appreciate your responsibility.
In addition to bicycles and cars, Pollux has its own group transportation. Our drivers take up to eight employees at a time from the residential location to work and back. They also provide transportation to, for example, a family doctor, city hall or office appointments.

If you want to make a living in the Netherlands with your family, this is certainly possible. However, you should keep in mind that the available housing is usually not suitable for families. In that case, you arrange your own housing and transportation. You can get support in finding a place to live, but suitable family housing is scarce in the Netherlands.
