Absenteeism due to illness
When an employee calls in sick, you as an entrepreneur must be alert and show an active attitude. Does the employee need support? Is it short-term or long-term absenteeism? And how is reintegration handled? Perhaps outside your own company? The employment law specialists at LVH Advocaten will be happy to answer these kinds of questions.
Absenteeism policy
Every entrepreneur strives for sustainable employability of his employees and wants a vital team and low absenteeism, but not every entrepreneur knows how to achieve this optimally. The employment law specialists at LVH Advocaten know that achieving low absenteeism starts with developing and implementing a good absenteeism policy. We are also happy to help you with this.
Reintegration
Is your employee on long-term sick leave? If so, you would do well to take action as soon as possible by starting with reintegration. You can start with this by calling in a company doctor/artists service. Together with the employee and, for example, the company doctor, you can determine what the employee can and cannot do during absenteeism.
Labour conflict and illness
Illness can also be accompanied by an industrial dispute. For example, an employee reports sick because of a conflict situation at work while there is no work disability. Or the employee has become ill as a result of the industrial dispute (burn-out). In these situations it is important that you take timely action. A lawyer can give you good advice on how to manage the case.

How does a purchase/contracting agreement work in real estate?
What is a purchase/contractor agreement? When parties agree that one of them will provide a piece of land and construct or finish a building on it for a fee, there is a contract for the purchase of the land on the one hand and a contract for work on the other hand with regard to the building. The part relating to the purchase of the land is governed by the legal rules of sale. On the part that relates to contracting work (building and delivery), the rules of contracting work apply. Therefore, it does not make much difference in practice whether one speaks of two linked contracts (purchase and contracting) or of one compound contract to which the rules for purchase and the rules for contracting apply in part.
What are the rights, obligations and liabilities of contractors and principals in contracting work?
A construction assignment to a contractor is considered a contract for work. This is an agreement whereby the contractor, on the instructions of the client - outside of employment - realizes and delivers a work of material nature. The legal relationship between the client and the contractor is - unless otherwise agreed - governed by the statutory rules for contracting work.
What are the rights, obligations and liabilities of clients and consultants in the commission agreement in a construction process?
At the start of a construction project, a client will often engage an architect, engineer or consultant to help him with the design (hereafter: 'consultant'). The legal relationship between the client and his consultant is - if nothing else has been agreed - governed by the legal rules for the commission contract. These legal rules can be found in the first section of title 7.7 of the Dutch Civil Code (art. 7:400 ff. of the Civil Code). The summary statutory regulation has a general and open character and is largely of a regulatory nature. It is therefore common for parties to make further agreements.
