How do I pay?
You may pay via:
- Payroll service provider - Contact your service provider or payroll service provider to agree on how to administer the scheme in future
- Paying-in slips - DA-Barsel forwards paying-in slips each quarter, i.e. in March, June, September, and December.
You make the calculations
You - or your payroll service provider - must calculate the amount to be paid.
The amount depends on how many employees are covered by the scheme and how many hours the individual employee works for you.
The DA-Barsel contribution does not need to be calculated and paid until the employee turns 18 years of age. The upper age limit are 67 years of age.
Payment deadline
You must pay maternity contributions for each of the four quarters of the year.
| Quarter | Due date | Last punctual payment date |
| 1st quarter | 1 April | 14 April |
| 2nd quarter | 1 July | 14 July |
| 3rd quarter | 1 October | 14 October |
| 4th quarter | 1 January | 20 January |
If the last punctual payment date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday the payment is due the next available weekday.
Late payment
In case of a late payment, DA-Barsel forwards a written reminder. If the company exceeds the payment deadline, we calculate an interest of 1.5% a month.
