What is the welfare contribution?

A contribution from the client for the welfare of his or her household help

It is not an easy period for anyone. Your household help too will not escape rising prices. Everything is getting more expensive, but the price of the service cheque remains the same. To cope with this price increase and improve the welfare of your household help, we ask for a small welfare contribution. With this contribution, we can better financially support your household help and we can focus even more on prevention, health and well-being.

This small contribution from you means a big help for your household help!
