Dismissal

A dismissal, with or without notice, is often difficult to handle for employer and employee alike, and will regularly escalate into a dispute between the parties, which may prove a very tiring and costly affair for the parties involved.

Due to our extensive expertise and experience in dismissals with and without notice, the group has the necessary basis for providing the best possible advice, thereby contributing to avoid or limit the extent of such disputes.

One of the core areas of the employment law group's advice is to provide assistance to employers, executive officers and managers in the event of disputes between an employer and an employee.

Such assistance includes the drafting of written warnings and, in the event of termination of employment, letters of dismissal.

We assist in:

drafting letters of dismissal
determining the correct length of notice periods
giving notice of holiday
deciding on suspension and release from duty to work, and in all other questions arising in relation to dismissals
the fairness of dismissals according to general or special employee protection rules, and on the consequences if a dismissal is unfair or contrary to the protection rules
the drafting and negotiation of severance agreements.
the special circumstances requiring the dismissal of a large number of employees, the group advises on the rules on consultation and notification in connection with collective redundancies
in the event of material breaches of employment contracts, we advise on summary dismissals, i.e. dismissals without notice.
