But is that also the maximum you can receive? No, because <strong>the statutory transition payment is a minimum, not a ceiling<\/strong>. In many situations you can successfully negotiate a higher payment \u2014 particularly if you know which arguments strengthen your position.<\/p>\n<h2>The transition payment as a starting point, not an end point<\/h2>\n<p>The transition payment is laid down by statute in Article 7:673 of the Dutch Civil Code and amounts to one third of a monthly salary per full year of service. In 2026, the maximum statutory transition payment has been set at \u20ac102,000 gross, or one gross annual salary if your annual salary is higher. This is the amount your employer <em>minimaal<\/em> is required to pay upon dismissal at its initiative. The law does not, however, prohibit employers from paying more \u2014 and it is precisely that room which you can make use of during negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Many dismissals are settled by means of a settlement agreement (VSO). The first proposal your employer makes is rarely the best offer. Employers generally draft a VSO in their own favour. You have the right to make counter-proposals and to request a higher payment \u2014 and in most cases employers expect you to do so.<\/p>\n<h2>When is negotiating a higher payment likely to succeed<\/h2>\n<p>Not every situation lends itself equally well to securing an above-statutory payment. The stronger your legal position, the greater the chance of a better outcome. In practice, the following circumstances strengthen your position:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lang dienstverband:<\/strong> Years of loyalty and accumulated knowledge justify additional recognition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zwak ontslagdossier:<\/strong> If your employer has not built a watertight file \u2014 think of an underperformance procedure without an improvement plan, or a breakdown in the employment relationship without any attempt at mediation \u2014 their legal position is weaker.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Difficult labour market position:<\/strong> An older age, a specialist field, or a tight regional labour market (even in the Brainport region around Eindhoven certain sectors are unbalanced) are recognised negotiating points.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Werkgever heeft haast:<\/strong> In the case of a reorganisation or when a department needs to be wound down quickly, the employer wants to move fast \u2014 and that gives you room to manoeuvre.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Culpable conduct by the employer:<\/strong> In cases of serious culpable conduct, the subdistrict court can award a fair compensation on top of the transition payment. That fair compensation has no statutory maximum and can serve as leverage in negotiations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal circumstances:<\/strong> Family situation, an ongoing mortgage, or high retraining costs can be put forward as arguments for a higher payment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Smart negotiating tactics in practice<\/h2>\n<p>Good negotiating starts before the first meeting. Anyone who comes to the table unprepared leaves money on the table. Bear the following in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Let the employer make the first offer.<\/strong> If you come forward with a proposal yourself, you weaken your negotiating position. Wait for their proposal and always ask for it in writing, so that you can consider it at your leisure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the calculation.<\/strong> The gross monthly salary used to calculate the transition payment also includes holiday allowance, fixed supplements and a guaranteed thirteenth month. Employers regularly omit these components. Always check this carefully.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onderhandel schriftelijk.<\/strong> Verbal agreements lead to misunderstandings and are more difficult to prove legally. Always record your counter-offer and your employer's response in writing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Look beyond the payment alone.<\/strong> In a settlement agreement, more points are open for negotiation: a longer notice period, release from work duties, a positive reference letter, reimbursement of legal costs, or the removal of a non-compete clause.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ask for a legal costs budget.<\/strong> In most cases, employers are willing to cover the costs of legal assistance. This is common practice \u2014 simply ask for it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Only sign when you are satisfied.<\/strong> After signing a settlement agreement you have fourteen days in which to change your mind, but it is better to sign only once all agreed terms have been incorporated to your satisfaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What can you realistically expect<\/h2>\n<p>Er bestaat geen wettelijke formule voor een bovenwettelijke vergoeding \u2014 het is en blijft een onderhandeling. In de praktijk liggen hogere vergoedingen bij VSO&#8217;s veelal ergens tussen \u00e9\u00e9n en twee keer de wettelijke transitievergoeding. Bij bijzonder sterke omstandigheden \u2014 een zeer lang dienstverband, een aantoonbaar zwak werkgeversdossier of verwijtbaar gedrag van de werkgever \u2014 kan dat hoger uitvallen.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a higher payment, you might also consider a temporary continuation of salary payments or a contribution towards outplacement costs. These are alternatives that can have a financially comparable effect to a higher transition payment. Always discuss the tax implications as well: a larger lump-sum payment is subject to heavy taxation, whereas smart spreading of payments or making use of available tax relief (such as an annuity contribution) can yield more in net terms. Consult a tax adviser for your specific situation.<\/p>\n<h2>How an employment lawyer strengthens your position<\/h2>\n<p>Negotiating a higher transition payment requires substantive knowledge as well as the right approach. Emotions always play a role in dismissal, and this can unconsciously weaken your negotiating position. An employment lawyer knows which arguments are most effective in practice, understands how employers think, and keeps a cool head where you may momentarily be unable to. Moreover, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf, so that you do not unnecessarily put the employment relationship under strain.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to know more about everything relating to the transition payment?

The statutory transition payment is a minimum. In a settlement agreement, you and your employer are free to agree on a higher payment. In most cases, your employer will expect you not to accept the first offer immediately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"pcai-faq-item\" style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:10px;margin:0 0 .6em;padding:.15em .35em;background:#fff\">\n<summary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:.85em 1em;font-weight:600\">What is the maximum statutory transition payment in 2026?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pcai-faq-answer\" style=\"padding:0 1em 1em\">\n<p>In 2026, the maximum statutory transition payment is \u20ac102,000 gross. If your annual salary is higher than that amount, one gross annual salary applies as the maximum. This is the statutory minimum you are entitled to upon dismissal at the employer's initiative \u2014 in practice, a higher payment can be agreed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"pcai-faq-item\" style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:10px;margin:0 0 .6em;padding:.15em .35em;background:#fff\">\n<summary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:.85em 1em;font-weight:600\">Which arguments work best when negotiating a higher payment?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pcai-faq-answer\" style=\"padding:0 1em 1em\">\n<p>Strong arguments include: a long period of service, a weak dismissal file on the employer's part, a difficult position in the labour market (for example due to age or specialism), urgency on the employer's side, and culpable conduct by the employer. Personal circumstances such as family situation or high retraining costs can also be taken into account.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"pcai-faq-item\" style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:10px;margin:0 0 .6em;padding:.15em .35em;background:#fff\">\n<summary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:.85em 1em;font-weight:600\">What is a fair compensation payment and how does it relate to the transition payment?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pcai-faq-answer\" style=\"padding:0 1em 1em\">\n<p>A fair compensation payment is an additional payment that the subdistrict court can award on top of the transition payment, when the employer has acted in a seriously culpable manner. There is no statutory maximum for the fair compensation payment. When negotiating a settlement agreement, you can use the risk of a fair compensation payment as an argument to secure a higher payment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"pcai-faq-item\" style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:10px;margin:0 0 .6em;padding:.15em .35em;background:#fff\">\n<summary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:.85em 1em;font-weight:600\">Are the costs of an employment lawyer during negotiations reimbursed by the employer?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"pcai-faq-answer\" style=\"padding:0 1em 1em\">\n<p>In most cases, yes. It is common practice to request a legal budget as part of a settlement agreement. Employers generally agree to this, as it is also in their interest for the negotiation to proceed smoothly and for you to sign with full knowledge of the facts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Negotiating more than the statutory transition payment?
