(Amendment of) employment conditions
The terms of employment of your employees are central to every employment contract. It is of course of great importance that not only the interests of your employees, but also those of you (during and after employment) are properly safeguarded. Drawing up these conditions deserves serious and permanent attention. We are happy to help you with this.
Modification of terms of employment
Not only drawing up, but also (being allowed to) change the terms of employment of your employees is a subject you regularly have to deal with in a variety of situations. When merging – harmonizing – terms of employment (e.g. after a takeover), when changing tax regulations or when business economic circumstances give cause to do so, such as a Corona crisis.
It is important, first of all, to determine what you want to change and whether this is in fact an employment condition or, for example, an orderly regulation (for example: prohibition of alcohol consumption during work). In the latter case, the rules for changing employment conditions do not apply. Rules of order fall under the instruction law of the employer.
When determining the possibility of adjusting terms of employment, it is also important whether the terms of employment are primary, secondary or tertiary.
Grounds for amending terms of employment
If you want to change employment conditions, you will initially consult with your employee(s) and ask them to agree in writing to the proposed changes. If an employee does not give his or her permission to change the employment conditions, there are several possibilities to realize a desired change of employment conditions, namely unilateral change (if agreed in the employment contract), good employee and employer manship, reasonableness and fairness and unforeseen circumstances.
Terms of employment and transfer of undertaking
After a company’s transition, there is often a need to harmonize terms of employment. Would you like to change employment conditions after a transfer of undertaking? There may be special circumstances that you need to consider. Such as acquired rights, transitional arrangements to be made and applicable collective labor agreement(s).

The wage guarantee scheme: continued payment of wages in the event of the employer’s bankruptcy
The Unemployment Insurance Act includes a scheme that entitles employees to payment in the event of payment problems on the part of the employer. The regulation is also called the wage guarantee regulation. It also regulates which benefits an employee can claim in case of bankruptcy of the employer. In this article I will discuss the main provisions of the wage guarantee scheme that apply in the event of bankruptcy and I will go into a recent judgment of the Supreme Court on this subject.
