Was working with ITECS in the Netherlands
Hi Folks,
Newbie to the forum, but long-time contractor here (since 1998).
Just a quick update on ITECS (even thought this is a bit of an old thread), I know people have provided mixed reviews of ITECS / Parker Woods (Gibraltar) or whatever branding you are familiar with.
I was told to use them for my NL contract and to be honest apart from a little incompetence, they seemed okay, no better or worse than others I've used in the past and the actual retention was slightly above what I was lead to believe was available from other NL Payroll providers (typically about 63% retention), due in part to the way they handled Social Security Deductions through their Gibraltar operation.
I was thus a bit surprised to be dumped by them last week without any reason or real notice. So I'm having to get going with a new Payroll provider to complete the contract and take the hit again on things like getting a new 30% ruling from the new provider. Basically a load of hassle that I could have done without.
So as per other contributors, it would seem that the advice to stay away from ITECS if you can is appropriate.
As to why they are behaving the way they are, I have no idea.
