Together with you, the lawyer determines the right approach and ensures the best possible solution and result. Advising, mediating, litigating, negotiating or drafting legal documents, the AGA lawyer will arrange it for you.

Protection and rights through legislation
Labour law regulates the relationships between employee and employer, which is based on Dutch legislation and case law. A large part of this legislation is mandatory in nature, this means that it is not allowed to deviate from this legislation, which therefore offers protection and rights to the employee. These protections and rights reduce the power difference between the employee and employer, so that the employee often occupies a strong legal position. Our advice is therefore to make use of these rights and protection at all times. Therefore, in the event of an (imminent) dismissal or a conflict regarding an employment contract, always call in an employment lawyer. At AGA lawyers you can do a dismissal check free of charge and without obligation. 

Dismissal a major event
If you are dismissed as an employee, this has direct consequences for your private life. You will end up in an uncertain period, in which it is still unclear how your dismissal will be arranged and whether you can claim unemployment benefit and severance pay. Make sure that you always get legal support so that you come to a correct solution and if the employment contract is terminated that your right to unemployment benefit is secured and a fair real severance payment is in return.

Dismissal how does that work?
Are you dealing with an (imminent) dismissal? Then it is important to know that your employer cannot just fire you. First of all, your employer will have to have a good reason for dismissal. If your employer has, or thinks, a reason for dismissal, he will have to start a dismissal procedure in order to actually be able to dismiss you. 

Mutual consent
Often your employer will try to avoid a dismissal procedure. Your employer then wants to terminate the employment by mutual consent. Your employer does this by offering you a dismissal proposal, termination agreement or a settlement agreement. The employer may also ask you to give written consent to the dismissal.

Our experience is that it regularly happens that an employer puts a lot of pressure on the employee to quickly agree to your dismissal. Never agree to that immediately! Your employer must legally give you time to seek legal advice. Make use of this time and let our specialized employment lawyers advise you without obligation.

Have you received a dismissal proposal, a termination agreement or settlement agreement, or a request for consent or a letter of resignation? Please contact the employment lawyers of AGA lawyers for a free dismissal check.
