From Freelancing to Payroll: How to Make the Switch

If you work as a freelancer, you’ve probably already heard: as of January 1, 2025, we no longer offer new shifts for freelancers in the app. Soon, working as a freelancer through Staffyou will no longer be possible.

But don’t worry! You can still work with your favorite clients, but now as a temporary employee on payroll. This way, you maintain the flexibility to decide how much you want to work while also enjoying extra benefits like holiday pay and pension contributions. Sounds great, right?

Read on to learn how to smoothly transition from freelancing to payroll!

How to Make the Switch

Switching from freelancing to payroll with Staffyou is easy. Follow these steps:

1. 1. Log out of the app
      Open the Staffyou app and log out of your current (freelance) account.
      
      

   2. Create a new account
      Sign up for a new account in the app or via the website and select the option “Work on payroll.”

Issues with your BSN?

If you encounter a notification that your BSN is already in the system when creating your account, don’t worry! This likely means you already have an account with us. Reach out to us and let us know which email address you want to use for your new account. We’ll take care of updating it for you.

Transferring your data

Our IT team is working hard to ensure that important data from your freelance account is transferred to your new payroll account. This includes:

• Your statistics
• Your favorites
• Your roles
• Reviews you’ve received

Want us to transfer your data? Fill out the consent form. Once we have your permission, we’ll ensure your data is transferred soon.

FAQ

What are the benefits of working on payroll?
As a payroll employee, you maintain the flexibility you’re used to as a freelancer, plus you gain extra advantages:

• Holiday pay: You’ll receive 8% holiday pay on top of your salary.
• Pension contributions: Start saving for your future.
• Security: You’re entitled to social security benefits, like sick pay.

Switching from freelancing to payroll is straightforward and comes with great benefits. Take a few minutes to create a new account, give consent to transfer your data, and you’ll be back working with your favorite clients in no time.

Can I still work invitations on my freelance account?
Yes, you can still accept shifts you’ve been invited to as a freelancer. However, the number of available shifts will gradually decrease and will stop completely in April 2025. We recommend creating a payroll account now so you can continue working with your favorite clients by then.

Do I need to delete my freelance account?
No, deleting your account is not necessary to make the switch. In fact, if you want us to transfer your data, do not delete your account. Instead, simply create a new payroll account.
If you still wish to delete your account, log in via the website and select the delete option from the menu.
