Collective dismissal: law and compensation

Questioner

Day, I and 6 other colleagues have a permanent position at a temporary employment agency. Because we are currently in the vacancy period, the agency wants to request collective dismissal after 6 months. Is this possible? Is there a severance payment attached to this??

Lawyer

The company can request collective dismissal for economic reasons and a severance payment is possible, often based on the subdistrict court formula.

Lawyer

Dear, For a collective dismissal, your employer needs a permit from the UWV Werkbedrijf. Your employer will probably offer you a settlement agreement soon. Your employer is obliged to inform you clearly about the end of your employment. Compensation is included in almost every collective dismissal. Compensation for legal assistance and training is also common. I strongly advise you to have an employment lawyer assist you, so that you are not faced with any unpleasant surprises. If desired, I can help you with this.
