Employees
A proactive application of the rules of labour law has a positive effect on the result of your company.
As an entrepreneur, you take care of your people. After all, your employees are your company’s most important capital. They perform best when they feel connected and are proud to be part of your company. It is important that it is clear how things are arranged within the company, that creates trust. The relationships, rights and obligations of your employees must therefore be properly regulated and laid down. You can do this by means of clear employment contracts, employment conditions and other internal regulations.
If there are reasons to say goodbye to an employee, a lawyer can provide added value. After all, emotions often play a role. The efforts of an attorney at law can contribute to a good farewell. Of course, the focus of the dismissal is on the ultimate (financial) consequences, but attention is also paid to a smooth and professional settlement.
Labour law is constantly undergoing changes, so it is important to seek advice timely. We can assist you in various matters, such as the dissolution of an employment contract, immediate dismissal, advice on competition clauses and the (unilateral) amendment of employment conditions.
In addition, our lawyers have the necessary in-house knowledge regarding employee participation. For example, we can advise you on the establishment of a Works Council and we are happy to assist you with advisory processes with your Works Council.
We are happy to help you in the areas listed below and more.
