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.

Dutch employment law: dismissal procedure and severance pay
Almost every company employs personnel and therefore has to deal with the relatively complex system of Dutch employment law. Hiring and hiring personnel is relatively simple. Dismissal, on the other hand, can be complex and in certain cases impossible or expensive. In many cases, it can therefore be advantageous to agree on termination of employment by mutual consent.
Reorganisation and dismissal in NOW scheme: what is allowed and what is not?
In a recent article we discussed the Temporary Emergency Measure Bridging Employment (NOW). The subsidy from this scheme comes with obligations for employers. If these obligations are not (fully) met, a sanction may be imposed. This article looks at the question whether you can still lay off employees during the granting of the NOW subsidy and whether you can reorganise.
A proactive absenteeism policy; a precondition for sustainable employability
When an employee reports sickness, an employer must be alert. Does the employee need support? Is it short-term or long-term absenteeism? And how is reintegration handled? Perhaps outside their own company?
