Changing employment conditions

Changing employment conditions
In some cases, it is desirable for the employer to change your terms of employment. Terms of employment are understood to mean everything that you have agreed with the employer with regard to your work. You can think of your salary, travel expenses, the location where you work but also the number of hours you have to work per week, the compensation of overtime, a smaller contribution to your pension or a reduction in allowances, working hours, holidays or other employment conditions.

Unilateral amendment clause
Your employment contract may include a "unilateral amendment clause". The change that the employer then unilaterally makes is bound by rules. For example, your employer may only make use of this if the interest of the change for your employer is greater than the interest of you as an individual. There must be a proper balance of interests. This is the case, for example, if the change is economically necessary. there must then be no possibilities available which are less intrusive in nature. The staff also has input. If there is a participation body, it may issue an opinion on the change. If your employer has not included an amendment clause in the employment contract, he may not unilaterally change the employment contract.

Adjusted employment contract
If it is to your advantage and you agree with the change, it is wise to record this change in writing with the employer in an adjusted employment contract or an addition to the employment contract. Have you received a proposal from your employer regarding the change of your terms of employment and do you want to know whether it is possible not to accept these conditions?
