By requiring all companies in the chain to be PayOK certified, the risk of claims regarding incorrect payment in the chain is minimized.

PayOK has the following main focus points:

• Limiting liability of (main) clients for all elements mentioned in the WAS, such as payment of the correct wage
• Preventing high fines for (main) clients for working with people in the chain who are not authorized to work in the Netherlands, whose identity has not been established, or who have assumed a false identity
• Management of PayOK standard
• Management of a public register of certified companies and companies registered for certification
• Periodic inspections by inspection bodies according to a uniform method
• Promoting certification of companies so they can positively distinguish themselves from non-certified companies
• Promoting use of the PayOK quality mark by (main) clients and other companies in the chain
