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 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.
