In a dynamic labour market, clear and legally watertight employment contracts are essential for both employers and employees. They form the basis of the employment relationship and provide clarity about rights, obligations and expectations. At Guldemond Advocaten we understand that every organization is unique and that customized employment conditions and contracts are crucial for attracting and retaining talent.
Strategic partner in employment contracts
Drafting and reviewing employment contracts requires more than just knowledge of the law; it requires insight into your business strategy, culture and the specific role of the employee within your organization. We advise you on drafting contracts that are not only legally sound, but also contribute to your strategic goals.
Whether it concerns standard employment contracts, flexible contract forms or agreements for senior management, we offer expert advice tailored to your needs. We ensure that your contracts meet all legal requirements and that they offer protection against possible risks in the future.
Flexible employment relationships
The modern labor market is characterized by an increasing need for flexibility. Think of self-employed persons, temporary workers, payrolling and temporary contracts. Although these forms of employment relationships offer advantages, they also entail complex legal issues. We guide you in navigating the regulations surrounding flexible labor and help you draw up agreements that offer clarity and certainty.
We advise on the use of self-employed persons without staff (zzp’ers) and the risks of bogus self-employment. In addition, we offer support in implementing flexible shell strategies, whereby we pay attention to both the legal and practical implications.
Non-competition and relationship clauses
Protecting sensitive business information and customer relationships is of great importance in a competitive market. Non-competition, relationship and confidentiality clauses are instruments that can be used for this. We help you formulate these clauses in a way that is legally sound and meets your specific needs.
We advise on:
- Non-compete agreements: restriction on employee from working at a competing company after termination of employment.
- Relationship clauses: limiting contact with customers or relations after the employee leaves.
- Confidentiality clauses: protection of confidential business information during and after employment.
For employees, we provide support in assessing such clauses and assist you in negotiations to mitigate unreasonable restrictions.
Change of employment conditions
Changes in business operations may lead to changes in employment conditions. This is a sensitive process that must be handled carefully to avoid legal conflicts and disruption of the employment relationship. We advise on the possibilities and limitations of changing employment conditions, both individually and collectively.
We assist you with:
- Communication: providing employees with transparent and timely information about proposed changes.
- Consent and consultation: obtaining consent from employees and participation bodies where appropriate.
- Legal review: assessing whether unilateral modification is possible based on a unilateral modification clause or so-called “good employer” status.
