Higher transition payment? For you too?

If you enter into discussions with your employer about leaving, the employer will make you a severance offer, usually in the form of a settlement agreement (termination document). Be aware that this is only the beginning of the negotiations. There is often more to be gained.

Most dismissals are settled by means of a settlement agreement.

More than 85% of dismissals are settled mutually through a so-called settlement agreement. The employer does not have to go to the UWV or the subdistrict court for a complex, time-consuming dismissal procedure. You also save yourself this procedure. This explains the popularity of the settlement agreement. The settlement agreement contains all the agreements regarding the dismissal, such as unemployment benefits, the amount of the transition allowance, notice period, etc. On average, there are 15 points on which agreements are made. When you receive a settlement agreement, you ask yourself: ‘Is this the maximum or is there more to be had?’

Settlement agreement is an initial proposal

A settlement agreement is also referred to as a dismissal proposal. This proposal is therefore not final. In fact, it is possible to negotiate a better proposal. Your position is often better than you think. Better conditions could include a higher transition payment. Experience shows that in 90% of cases, a better settlement and higher compensation are achievable. With permanent employment contracts, there is more room for negotiation than with temporary contracts.

Higher severance pay starts with checking the settlement agreement

Our solicitors will assist you in getting the most out of your dismissal. We start with a free review of your settlement agreement:

Step 1: Free review of your settlement agreement and determination of your negotiating position. You decide whether you want to continue with us after this.

Step 2: Our lawyers start negotiations with your employer and make a counterproposal. The main goal is to obtain a higher severance payment. The negotiations result in an improved settlement agreement with a higher payment.

Step 3: You only agree if you are completely satisfied with the higher severance pay and other improved conditions. Then you sign the settlement agreement. It costs you nothing; your employer pays the legal costs. The solicitors will arrange this for you!

Free review of your settlement agreement

Let our solicitors review your settlement agreement free of charge and without obligation:

✔️ Has the settlement agreement been correctly drawn up by your employer?

✔️ Is the severance pay offered high enough?

✔️ Are your rights guaranteed?

Upload the settlement agreement, and our solicitors will contact you.

If the settlement agreement is incorrect or the compensation is too low, the solicitor will explain this to you.

“Juristen Arbeidsrecht Nederland zou ik absoluut aanbevelen. Sven de Brouwer in het bijzonder! Het is een jonge en zeer capabele kerel! Hij wist mijn enthousiasme mooi compact en juridisch goed onderlegd vast te leggen! Daar moeten jullie zuinig op zijn. Hoewel de samenwerking kort en krachtig was, vormden wij een goed team samen!”

Bas Wielink

Hij heeft mij heel goed geholpen met mijn VSO en transitievergoeding. Zonder hem was ik slechter af geweest. Hij reageerde snel op mijn vragen en gaf mij het gevoel dat het geregeld zou worden. En dat is ook gebeurd! Opeens kom je in een wereld terecht die niet de jouwe is, dat is slikken. Zo fijn hij mijn zorgen voor zover uit handen nam en wist waar hij het over had.

Lilian Van den Berg

“Uitstekend geholpen door Tara de Rijke. Ze heeft mij zo goed begeleid, geadviseerd en een hele fijne onderlinge communicatie. (hele snelle reacties) super fijn!”

Syl Heijnen

Toen ik mijn concept VSO kreeg, heb ik direct contact gezocht. Tamkin heeft me duidelijk kunnen uitleggen wat mijn rechten zijn en waarom het tegenvoorstel nodig was. Ik kan Tamkin alleen maar aanbevelen als een professionele en ook vriendelijke jurist die er echt voor jou is. Ik ben haar ongelooflijk dankbaar voor alles wat ze voor mij heeft gedaan.

Charles

Tamkin brengt rust, overzicht en geeft (weer) vertrouwen om het proces van een VSO in te gaan. Ik zou willen zeggen tegen iedereen: laat je niet gek maken door je werkgever. Zij willen immers van jou af. Jij geeft veel op. Dat moet een werkgever beseffen. Tamkin blijft gedurende deze periode rustig, behulpzaam, heeft veel kennis en kan goed schrijven. Bedankt, Charles

S.K.

Ik ben ontzettend tevreden over de begeleiding van mijn juridische adviseur. De communicatie was altijd snel, helder en professioneel, waardoor ik precies wist waar ik aan toe was. Dankzij Tamkin’s deskundigheid en persoonlijke betrokkenheid heb ik mijn zaak met vertrouwen kunnen afronden en een resultaat bereikt waar ik erg blij mee ben.

Petra Korvers

“Snel, kordaat en duidelijk geholpen zodat ik verder kon met mijn vaststellingsovereenkomst. Jurist Bas Wielink heeft mij zeer goed geholpen en was duidelijk over hoe er nog aanpassingen moesten komen in mijn VSO.”

J.A.N.

Zeer goed, open, hartelijk, aandachtig, to the point, oog voor de menselijke kant en de hele context.

Een korte, informele en professionele samenwerking. Was een goede samenwerking. Top. Hartstikke bedankt.

		‘Juristen Arbeidsrecht Nederland acted with great professionalism during the negotiations, achieving the best possible result after a long struggle. Tamkin Neshat was extremely helpful. She assisted me in negotiating a settlement agreement and secured more than what was initially offered to me. She was always readily available and able to clearly explain the status of the case.’
		“I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for the excellent assistance provided by Ms Tara de Rijke in reviewing and negotiating my settlement agreement (VSO). Thanks to her determination and expertise, the negotiations went smoothly and I was able to reach an agreement very quickly, allowing me to close this chapter.”
		“In consultation with solicitor Sven de Brouwer, we submitted a counterproposal to the employer, which was drawn up entirely in consultation with me and was therefore to my liking. After all, I know the employer best and know what is and is not feasible. We reached an agreement with the employer in a short period of time.”
		“Bas, thank you for your support and calmness. In a difficult situation, you took over communication quickly and professionally. It is clear that you do this often and achieved the best result.”
