A few things to consider in a dismissal settlement:

Besides the unemployment benefits rights, there are (of course) other matters that must or can be arranged in a dismissal settlement. To give you an idea, below are some topics. 

 

Date of termination of employment contract

Preferably choose a date that falls after the notice period applicable to the employer.

Termination of employment contract
To avoid problems with obtaining unemployment benefits, this should be a 'neutral' reason, such as economic circumstances or a disrupted working relationship that is not the employee's fault.
Severance pay
This is usually an important point. Is the employee entitled to the transition payment, or possibly a higher amount? Ask our specialists about the possibilities.
Is the employee exempted from work?
This can be particularly important in cases of a strained employment relationship or the loss of work during a reorganization.
Are the unused vacation days paid out?
In cases where the employee is granted long-term exemption from work, it is often agreed that the unused vacation days will expire.
Does the employee have to return certain company property (such as a laptop, phone)?
This can be a point of negotiation. It is often agreed that the employee may keep the laptop or phone.
Non-competition clause and non-solicitation clause
Do these clauses remain in effect or do they expire? The expiration of the non-competition clause is especially important for the employee if they want to continue working in the same industry.
Does the employee receive a positive reference letter?
A positive reference letter can, of course, be helpful when looking for another job.
Do the parties agree to final settlement?
If the parties agree to a final settlement, they cannot claim anything beyond what is laid down in the settlement agreement.

How do we work?

Contact us for a free and no-obligation consultation*

Your employer offers you a settlement agreement or wants to dismiss you in another way. Then contact our dismissal specialists immediately. You can present your case by phone or email. You can do this without worrying about costs. The first advice is FREE*.

(*) unless otherwise agreed with you

We review your situation and provide advice

Our specialists assess your situation. We explain whether you can be dismissed and whether the proposed settlement agreement looks good or not. What 'pitfalls' does the settlement agreement contain? And what are the areas for improvement? We pay attention to the security of your unemployment benefits and the amount of severance pay (can it be increased?), as well as other important matters.

If your employer does not offer a settlement agreement, but you have been dismissed immediately, or if a dismissal procedure is looming at the subdistrict court or the UWV, we can also assist you. We explain what your chances are in such a procedure and how we can help you defend yourself or avoid the procedure altogether.

The solution for your situation

If the settlement agreement offered by your employer is a fair offer, we will let you know as soon as possible. But usually, there are points for improvement. Think, for example, of a higher severance payment, exemption from work, etc. We can then negotiate with your employer for a better arrangement. Usually, this succeeds! And most of the time this can be done at no cost to the employee because we often manage to have the costs reimbursed by your employer.

If dismissal without a settlement agreement is looming, we can also help you. We will defend you before the court or the UWV, or try to negotiate a good severance agreement for you.

With our experience of more than 20 years, we achieve the best possible results for you!
So present your case to us immediately. You will know where you stand within 24 hours.

Professional advice

Rishico

Your dismissal specialists helped me very well with professional advice following a labor dispute I had with my employer. They clearly have experience with settlement agreements. I definitely needed their assistance to reach a good agreement with my employer. Thank you for the clear communication and all the help!

My thanks

Carla ten Bulte

My thanks to Mr. Geradts,

With great professionalism, decisiveness, speed, and effectiveness, I was able to conclude a good settlement agreement. If your first counteroffer hadn’t been so strong, I wouldn’t have been able to secure even half of it.
Not only because of the money, but certainly also to be able to close my employment history with dignity.
I wish every employee in such a situation could have such a skilled lawyer!

Good severance payment

Metternich

I want to sincerely thank you for the excellent help I received when my employer wanted to terminate my employment contract with a settlement agreement.
You advised me not to sign the agreement and, through negotiations, secured my unemployment benefits and severance payment.

Good advice

Louman

We are an employer in a cyclical industry. Sometimes there is plenty of work, other times too little.
Therefore, we regularly have to part ways with employees for “economic reasons.”
We use the services of vaststellingsovereenkomst.org for this. They know exactly how a dismissal request to the CWI or the subdistrict court should be prepared.

Even in cases where an employee underperforms or behaves inappropriately, we have had good experiences with the lawyers at vaststellingsovereenkomst.org.
They are always available to us with sound advice and have never disappointed us.

Difficult situation

Singh

A dismissal specialist helped me in a very difficult situation. I had been so foolish to sign a letter in an emotional state, resigning myself. Because of this, I lost my salary and wasn’t entitled to unemployment benefits. Vaststellingsovereenkomst.org managed to reverse this. They were able to prove that I signed under pressure and didn’t fully understand what I was doing.
In the end, I left with a good severance payment and now I have another job. Without the help of Vaststellingsovereenkomst.org, I would be in serious financial trouble right now.

Higher severance payment

Gast

I would like to sincerely thank you for the quick and professional assistance.
My employer unexpectedly presented a settlement agreement to terminate my employment contract, but thanks to your help, I received a higher severance payment and compensation for my vacation days.

Excellent assistance provided

Thijssen

Recently, you helped me with my dismissal case. I am very satisfied with the assistance provided. The lawyer was very involved and well-versed in dismissal law. He understood well that I didn’t want a long procedure but wanted the matter resolved quickly.
That solution came swiftly and to my full satisfaction. I didn’t even have to visit your office. Communication was handled by phone and email, so you were always accessible.
My rating: a solid 10.

Dismissed but still well helped

A. van den Berg

Because of a conflict at work that got seriously out of hand, I was dismissed immediately (summary dismissal). I had behaved badly during that conflict, so I could understand why my boss took such a harsh measure.
But I still had to fight the dismissal, because I had no job and no right to unemployment benefits. Fortunately, the dismissal specialist dared to take the risk and started a procedure against my employer on a No Cure No Pay basis. Without the possibility of No Cure No Pay, I wouldn’t have dared to do it myself.
In the end, after two procedures, the lawyer from vaststellingsovereenkomst.org succeeded in securing my right to unemployment benefits and even a severance payment.

Dismissal assistance

van Vliet-Houtman

I worked with great pleasure from the age of 18 at a flower exporter in Aalsmeer.
When I was 54, my employer applied for dismissal through the CWI for economic reasons. At that time, I engaged Mr. Edwin van Jaarsveld from Ontslagspecialist for dismissal assistance.
A dismissal permit could not be avoided because my employer was really in financial trouble. Since my employer offered only a very small severance payment, Mr. van Jaarsveld advised me to start proceedings at the subdistrict court.
That turned out to be successful. The court awarded a severance payment of €94,000.
Thanks to the dedication and excellent legal knowledge of vaststellingsovereenkomst.org, I achieved this great result. Kudos!

Very pleasant experience
