Dismissal law is a complex and constantly evolving area of law that deeply affects both employers and employees. At Guldemond Advocaten, we understand that a dismissal situation has not only legal, but also human and business dimensions. Our goal is to guide you through this often sensitive process with strategic advice that is both lawful and pragmatic.

Dismissal procedures require careful consideration and precise compliance with legal obligations. Whether it is individual dismissal, collective dismissal in reorganisations or the dismissal of statutory directors, we are at your side to make the process as smooth as possible. Our experience shows that a proactive and transparent approach contributes to a fair solution for all parties involved.

When it comes to major decisions such as reorganisations or business closures, timely planning and communication is essential. We help you develop a strategy that takes into account both the legal frameworks and the impact on your organisation and employees. This includes preparing sound justifications, following the right procedures and minimising risks of litigation.

A summary dismissal is one of the most drastic measures an employer can take. It requires an urgent reason and must meet strict legal requirements. We advise you on the justification for the dismissal, guide you in carefully documenting the facts and ensure the correct execution of the procedure to avoid later conflicts.

For employees, summary dismissal is often an unexpected and disruptive event. We offer support in assessing the legality of the dismissal and assist you in any proceedings to protect your rights and find an appropriate solution.

Reorganisations and collective redundancies involve complex legal and social issues. We guide you through the entire process, from drafting a social plan to communicating with employees and participation bodies. Our approach focuses on finding a balance between company interests and the interests of your employees, with an eye for the human dimension.

We advise on the obligations under the Collective Redundancy Notification Act (WMCO) and ensure you comply with all procedural requirements. By identifying potential obstacles early on, we help you ensure the process runs efficiently and according to plan.

There are several ways to end an employment contract, each with their own legal nuances. Whether it is dismissal by mutual consent, termination or dissolution through the subdistrict court, we offer expert advice tailored to your needs. We help draw up settlement agreements that provide clarity and certainty, and prevent any future disputes.

Our focus is on achieving a solution that does justice to all parties. We support you in negotiations, ensure transparent communication and strive for a respectful settlement of the employment relationship.

Upon dismissal, the employee may be entitled to a transfer fee or other forms of compensation. We advise on the calculation and possible exceptions, and consider financial consequences for your organisation. For employees, we assess whether the compensation offered is correct and in line with legal standards, and support negotiations for a better arrangement if necessary.
