Advice on impending dismissal

It can also happen that your employer wants to dismiss you, but the word is not out yet. A good example of such a situation is placement in an improvement program or toughening of discussions. In such a case, there is still plenty you can do to avoid dismissal, such as putting together a strong dossier.

Employment contract

Legal advice and guidance on entering into and/or terminating an employment contract, fixed-term or indefinite-term employment contract. We always negotiate the best terms for you.

Illness & reintegration

Long-term illness can be very unpleasant for both employee and employer. Our employment lawyer will discuss the case, study all the documents and assess your situation. Professional guidance on reintegration.

Settlement Agreement

Of course, it can happen: your employer wants to end the employment relationship and has offered a settlement agreement. As unpleasant as that is, adequate preparation is important.

Transition Payment

When an employee’s contract is terminated via the subdistrict court or the UWV, this employee is entitled to a transition payment. But, the transition fee can be much higher, for example, in the case of dismissal by mutual consent. This is called a severance payment. Calculate the transition fee with our calculation tool.

Severance payment

In the settlement agreement, the agreements that are made about the dismissal, for example, a transition payment with factor 2 or 3 can be included. This means that the transition payment will be 2 or 3 times higher. Arbeidsjurist Eindhoven can help you with this. We represent your interests in all matters related to the dismissal.

Dismissal by mutual consent (vaststellingsovereenkomst)

Both employer and employee can, before going to court or the UWV, first propose to dissolve the contract by mutual consent. This is called the dismissal by mutual consent. In the case of dismissal by mutual consent, agreements on the dismissal are made between the employee and the employer regarding, for example, severance pay. These agreements are recorded on paper in a termination agreement. Also called the settlement agreement (vaststellingsovereenkomst) in legal jargon.

Immediate dismissal

A direct dismissal can take place without prior permission from the UWV or the court, but there must be an urgent reason for this. A direct dismissal can always be challenged if the employee disagrees with the dismissal. Arbeidsjurist Eindhoven advises and litigates in dismissal procedures.

How do we work?

We would like to get to know you and you, of course, would like to know who we are. You can! We’ll find out soon enough if we can offer you what you expect. Our employment specialists would be happy to welcome you for an initial consultation.

Legal advice is not a simple push of a button. It is the result of an accurate inventory of your needs and options. We take the time to discuss all the important aspects with you. Our employment specialists will take the time to discuss this in detail during the first meeting. This conversation is completely non-binding. You’re not tied to anything!

Once it feels right and we can serve you well, we will send you a suitable proposal. We always base the advice process on your goals and capabilities. In this regard, we attach more importance to a realistic approach than to the creation of excessively high expectations. Can you feel comfortable with this? Then we will actively engage in support. That is the principle of our clear legal services.

From this moment on, we will take care of you. We dive into your employment issue from A to Z and make sure it is handled quickly and properly. The active working method we use has now proven itself widely. Feel free to take a look at our reviews on the Internet.

Before, during and after the advisory process, we are your point of contact. For a very long time, in fact, our cooperation has resulted in exclusively satisfied customers. We take that one extra step that makes all the difference in many cases. Your case is in good hands with us.

Settlement Agreement

A settlement agreement is drawn up when employee and employer agree on the dismissal. Agreements about the dismissal are then made between employee and employer, which are then recorded on paper. In this way, a dismissal is negotiated and can be very beneficial to you. Arbeidsjurist Eindhoven will look at your situation and the proposal for the settlement agreement and will negotiate for you the best possible conditions for your dismissal. We also check to see whether there are any unexpected errors in the agreement, as a result of which you cannot, for example, apply for unemployment benefit.

Resigning yourself

Of course, it may also happen that you yourself want to resign. Often employees do not know exactly what their rights and obligations are when they want to resign. Do you need to submit a letter of resignation? What is the notice period? Are you entitled to severance or transition pay? Arbeidsjurist Eindhoven answers all these questions.
