Example settlement agreement termination agreement

 In the Netherlands, employees are generally well protected against dismissal. The law only provides for a number of grounds on which an employee can be dismissed. The main reasons are:

• culpable act or omission
• malfunction
• Disrupted employment relationship
• Urgent reason (summary dismissal)
• Business reason
• Cumulative ground (combination of reasons)

 If one of the statutory grounds for dismissal is present, you as an employer can submit a request for dismissal to (depending on the reason for dismissal) the subdistrict court or the UWV.

 But proceedings at the UWV or the subdistrict court can take a long time and cost a lot of money. Moreover, the outcome is uncertain. It is therefore often better to try to reach a termination agreement (also known as a settlement agreement) with your employee.

 In a termination agreement ( in Dutch called Vaststellingsovereenkomst ) , things can be agreed upon such as:

• the end date of the employment contract
• does the employee receive severance pay, and if so how much?
• is employee exempt from work
• a non-competition clause lapses
• does the employee receive a positive certificate?
• etc.
