Do you have a conflict with your employer or employee? Are you facing dismissal, a settlement agreement, or a wage dispute? An employment lawyer from Arslan Advocaten helps you protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome.

Employment law matters often have major financial and personal consequences. That is precisely why it is important to seek legal advice in a timely manner. We assist you with clear guidance, a sharp strategy, and decisive action.

When should you hire an employment lawyer?

In practice, we find that clients often seek legal advice too late. That is unfortunate, because rights have already been needlessly forfeited by then. An employment lawyer can, among other things, be engaged for:

• Dismissal (summary dismissal, economic reasons, underperformance)
• Settlement agreement (VSO)
• Wage claims and back pay
• Incapacity for work and reintegration
• Non-compete and non-solicitation clauses
• Workplace disputes and strained relations

In all these situations: the earlier you seek advice, the stronger your position.

Dismissal and your rights

Dismissal is one of the most far-reaching events in employment law. Whether it concerns summary dismissal or a termination by mutual consent, the consequences are significant. An employment law attorney assesses, among other things:

• whether the dismissal is legally tenable;
• whether you are entitled to a transition payment;
• whether a fair compensation is possible;
• what the consequences are for your unemployment benefit rights.

Have the settlement agreement reviewed

With a settlement agreement, the dismissal often seems “neatly arranged,” but appearances are deceiving. The contents of the agreement largely determine your financial future. An employment law attorney checks, among other things:

• the amount of the severance payment;
• the end date of the employment;
• vacation days and bonus arrangements;
• the non-compete or non-solicitation clause;
• the unemployment benefit (WW) security of the agreement.

In many cases, we succeed in negotiating better terms for you.

Wage claim and back pay

Are you not being paid (in full) for the work you have performed? Then a wage claim may be necessary. An employment lawyer helps you claim:

• back pay;
• holiday allowance;
• overtime;
• statutory increase and interest.

A strongly worded legal letter is often enough to compel payment. If necessary, we will litigate on your behalf.

Occupational disability and reintegration

Illness often leads to tensions between employer and employee. Think of disputes about reintegration, suitable work, or suspension of wages. As employment law attorneys, we assess whether your employer is complying with their legal obligations and stand up for you if they are not.

For both employees and employers

Arslan Advocaten supports both employees and employers. For employers, this means practical and strategic guidance in dismissal procedures, file building, and prevention of legal risks. For employees, this means maximum protection of rights and income.

Costs of an employment law attorney

The cost of an employment lawyer depends on the nature and complexity of the case. In some situations – such as when reviewing a settlement agreement – the employer pays (part of) the lawyer’s fees. We always clearly explain in advance what you can expect.
