Is it possible to have two contracts?

Questioner

I currently have a contract running at a daycare center. Yesterday was my last day of work, but they couldn't stop the contract for now, so it runs until the end of February. The reason I stopped is because I have scoliosis in my back, so I had no other choice. I would like to start my new job as soon as possible, but I don't know if that is possible because you then have to deal with the payroll tax. Can you explain to me how this works?

In principle, you can have 'as many' contracts as you want, as long as you can carry out the work and the legal regulations are complied with. You have a good point when you talk about payroll tax. You can only get payroll tax deduction for 1 job. For the job you choose, the employer will withhold less payroll tax (because of the deduction). More money is therefore withheld from the salary of the employer from whom you do not have a wage tax credit (because you do not have a discount). You can choose for which job you want to process the discount. For example, you could indicate for a new job to only choose payroll tax discount from March. The only thing you have to pay attention to is whether you do not have a non-competition clause with your old employer, but that has nothing to do with payroll tax.
