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
Dismissal of statutory director: reasonable grounds for dismissal?
The dismissal of a statutory director occupies a special position within labor law. For example, the protection against dismissal that a director under the articles of association has is designed differently from normal employees. It is no different in that there must be reasonable grounds for a legally valid dismissal. The absence of reasonable grounds can cost the employer dearly.

Covenant on ancillary activities; greater clarity desired
Since August 1 of this year, the law (Section 7:653a of the Civil Code) has provided that the employment contract may no longer contain a prohibition on ancillary activities ("ancillary activities clause") unless there is an "objective reason for doing so. This means work in addition to the current position with the employer. This may also include work that the employee performs independently.
