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.

The pilot’s employment contract: points of interest and details for airlines
For most employees, it can be determined with some ease whether they have an employment contract and what law applies to that employment contract. Pilots, on the other hand, occupy a special position within labor law because of the international elements that tend to fester.
Suspension and annulment of non-competition and non-solicitation clause: the balancing of interests
A non-competition clause can be challenged by employees if the clause unfairly disadvantages the employee. But how should an employer defend against this? In this article, on the basis of a concrete example, a judgment from the Amsterdam Court of Appeal, we examine in more detail the suspension (interlocutory proceedings) and nullification (proceedings on the merits) of a non-competition and non-solicitation clause and the balancing of interests that takes place.
Dismissal during illness versus dismissal due to illness
The employment contract of a sick employee can (despite the prohibition on giving notice during illness) be dissolved by the subdistrict court. That is, if (a) there is a legal ground for dismissal (for example, a disturbed working relationship or dysfunction) and (b) the request for dissolution is not related to the illness.
