Employment Law & Employee Representation
Although no other legal area is as changeable and fluid as employment law, the law still offers sufficient flexibility to meet your organisation’s requirements. We provide advice and counsel in legal proceedings, so you can quickly and easily adapt to changes in your organisation and the law.
Healthy working relationships begin with clear, sound agreements. As an employer, you head a staff with rights and duties. The Dijkstra Voermans attorneys at law specialising in employment law will help you make the most of your legal options, without losing sight of the organisation’s interests or the importance of a personal approach.
Employment law contracts
Contracts are not only useful for laying down standard provisions regarding, for instance, wages and duration. For example, non-competition clauses and bonus schemes have to be geared to the employee and the organisation and must be formulated unequivocally. In addition, their legally binding nature must be clearly communicated. Dijkstra Voermans employment attorneys at law see to it that your intentions are committed accurately to paper.
Mergers and acquisitions
Labour matters play a decisive role in
mergers and acquisitions.
Supported by the sound employment law advice we offer, we guide you through the process of mergers and acquisitions. We also support you in subsequent stages, such as harmonising your articles of association.
Employment contract termination
There are many different ways to terminate an employment contract. Sometimes termination can be achieved by mutual agreement alone, while in other cases, you must resolve the matter in subdistrict court or consult the Public Employment Service (UWV WERKbedrijf). A well-ordered dismissal file strengthens your position, as it reduces the need for lengthy negotiations/proceedings and cuts back on expenses. We alert you to the key components of an effective dismissal file and assist you in creating one. We can also support you in the steps to be taken in a reorganisation, a process in which the various aspects of the organisation’s interests, personal commitment and environmental factors play an even greater role. Being well prepared is 90% of the battle.
Directors
Those serving as directors under the articles of association are in an exceptional and complex position due to their legal responsibilities and the lack of statutory safeguards against dismissal. We provide assistance in all legal aspects of appointments, disputes and dismissals.
Employee representation
Employee representation can be viewed as its own area of expertise. Organisations with more than 50 employees are required to set up a works council, which can influence decision-making processes within organisations on many fronts. We provide counsel and support for management teams and works councils faced with issues and disputes relating to employee representation, both in the private and the public sector.
