Frequently asked questions about HR maternity leave coverage

How quickly can a replacement start?

This varies by situation, but you should count on 2 to 3 weeks. In some cases, it may take a little longer, up to a maximum of 1.5 months. We recommend getting in touch as early as possible so there is enough time for a proper handover.

What if maternity leave starts earlier or later than planned?

It happens. We take that into account and keep our planning flexible. This ensures that a replacement is available exactly when you need one.

What exactly does the replacement do?

We determine that together based on your HR professional's responsibilities. From daily HR operations to strategic advice, we provide someone who fits your organization's specific needs.

What does maternity leave replacement via VIE People cost?

The investment depends on the professional's level and the duration of the leave. We are always transparent about the costs. Schedule a call and we will tell you exactly what to expect.

What if it’s not a good fit with the replacement?

We will resolve that. We’ll discuss what isn’t working and, if necessary, switch to a better-suited profile.

What is the DBA Act and why is it relevant?

The DBA Act regulates when someone can work as an independent contractor and when an employment relationship exists. If you hire a freelancer who effectively functions as an employee, you as the client risk fines and back taxes. Because our professionals are on the VIE People payroll, you automatically comply with the DBA Act.
