Employees
A proactive application of the rules of labour law has a positive effect on the result of your company.
As an entrepreneur, you work with people every day. You make agreements, provide direction and build your organisation together. That requires clear employment terms, clear communication and a careful approach when something changes or gets stuck.
In practice, personnel issues often arise sooner than expected. An employee does not perform as hoped, a discussion arises about agreements made, someone becomes ill or your organisation changes. Then it is important to know what is legally possible and which steps are sensible.
Employment law is not only about rules. It is also about timing, evidence, communication and the consequences for your business. By choosing the right course in time, you avoid unnecessary risks and stay in control of the process.
LVH Advocaten helps entrepreneurs with a wide range of personnel-related matters. We think along with you about practical solutions, assess your legal position and guide you through the necessary steps. From employment contracts and employment terms to illness, reintegration, performance, dismissal, employee participation, proceedings and agreements on non-compete or non-solicitation clauses.
Because personnel issues often involve several interests, we look beyond the legal rules. We also consider what is workable within your organisation. This gives you advice that helps you move forward quickly and make well-considered choices.
Would you like to discuss a personnel issue or find out in advance which route is sensible? Our employment law specialists would be happy to help.

More about employees
Sick employee does not cooperate in reintegration: employer actions
A reintegration process starts by the employer reporting sick. Earlier, we wrote an article about the steps that should be taken in a reintegration process. But what if the sick employee does not cooperate? Which actions can you take as an employer to get the reintegration process back on track or can the employer fire the sick employee if he does not cooperate?
Can a cash payment made after the bankruptcy date be reclaimed?
Recently, the Supreme Court issued an interesting judgment involving two important principles of bankruptcy law, namely the principle of fixation and the principle of paritas creditorum. The case concerned a situation in which, after the bankruptcy date, a cash payment was made from the bankrupt's bank account to a creditor. The central question was whether the trustee could recover the payment from the creditor. This article discusses the case, the relevant principles and the Supreme Court's opinion.
Surveillance in the (home) workplace: what is an employer allowed?
Previously we wrote an article about the rules for camera surveillance in the workplace. The need for employer monitoring exceeds - partly in view of the corona pandemic - the mere checking of the workplace with cameras. Employers also have a need to monitor employees' browsing habits, as well as the emails they send. And, of course, they want to prevent employees from spending hours Internet shopping and watching TV at the home workplace during working hours. But isn't monitoring this a violation of the employee's privacy, especially at the home workplace? In this article, we address that question. Is an employer allowed to use monitoring tools and what rules must the employer abide by during a monitoring. To form a clear picture, we will also discuss case law.
