Scope survey collective bargaining agreement or pension plan
Your company may be subject to a collective agreement or pension scheme to which you have not opted (“scope”), and which you may not even be aware of. A scope survey by LVH Advocaten will give you a high degree of certainty as to whether you are bound by your current or another collective bargaining agreement (or pension fund).
What does a scope investigation involve?
Among other things, an investigation is conducted into the company description from the extract of your company at the Chamber of Commerce. Also the actual work that the employees perform for your company, the pay slips, corporate communications, as well as the declaration of universal applicability of one or more collective labor agreements to which your business activities could be subject.
Operating provisions are sometimes difficult to fathom. Therefore, whether a particular collective bargaining agreement (or pension plan) applies to your activities is not always easy to answer. This frequently leads to legal proceedings, where the financial stakes are often high. You can avoid discussions with employees or industry pension funds and possible damages by means of an scope investigation.
The costs of an scope investigation
LVH Advocaten can perform such a scope survey for your organization for a fixed fee. After the intake and receipt of the documents to be requested, our lawyers will provide a quotation.
If you would like more information about the possibilities of a scope investigation, please contact our employment lawyers Richard Ouwerling or Lisa Kloot.

The question is then who is liable. In this article I give examples of hidden defects, explain what the obligations of the buyer and seller are and what one should pay attention to.
How final is the final discharge in termination agreements?
If employer and employee wish to terminate an employment contract by mutual agreement, they sign a termination agreement. A termination agreement often includes a final discharge clause. A final discharge clause ensures that parties do not have to renegotiate rights and compensation after the execution of the termination agreement. But how final is the final discharge clause in a termination agreement?
The summary proceedings in brief
In my previous article, "Receiving a Subpoena? Five points of interest' I discussed five points of interest for studying a subpoena.
