Labour affects everyone who works or employs people. It involves rights and obligations, but also trust, clarity and often big personal and business interests. When problems arise in the employment relationship, it can create a lot of uncertainty and tension. At Luijten Lawyers, we understand that employment law goes beyond rules. We offer clear, committed and practical guidance for both employees and employers, with an eye for both the situation and the person behind it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dismissal and termination of employment contract<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dismissal can be drastic, regardless of whether you are an employee or employer. It may involve, for example, summary dismissal, a dissolution request with the subdistrict court, a dismissal permit with the UWV or a termination by mutual agreement. It is important to go through the process carefully. We advise and assist in all forms of dismissal and pay attention to the legal basis, the procedure and the financial consequences. Where possible, we look for a solution in consultation, but if necessary, we also assist in proceedings before the subdistrict court.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A settlement agreement is often used to terminate employment by mutual agreement. Although this may seem straightforward at first glance, there are important legal and financial consequences attached to it, for example, also the right to benefits. We assess or draw up settlement agreements with an eye to the interests of both parties. If required, we will negotiate the terms to ensure a balanced settlement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Illness and disability entail specific obligations. Both employee and employer have to deal with reintegration obligations, continued payment of wages and the role of the company doctor. We advise on the rights and obligations during illness, assist in reintegration processes and think along if the process gets stuck. We also offer legal support in discussions about suitable work, sanctions or termination of employment during or after illness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The probationary period and notice period are important parts of an employment contract. During the probationary period, both employee and employer can terminate the employment contract relatively easily, but within legal frameworks. The notice period determines how long the contract continues after a dismissal or termination and can differ depending on the length of employment. We advise on the possibilities and limitations in both probation and notice periods, so that you know where you stand legally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
