Given the intensity of the work, they have been the only client for the past few years and are therefore also responsible for more than 70% of my income. Other characteristics: I have received a monthly advance payment for the past year, an amount that was the same every month. As for the power relations: I mainly worked at the times that they determined. The preparatory work could be determined and carried out in my own time, the executive work was at the times and hours that they determined. After 5 years, a conflict arose, six months ago now, which caused the assignment to stop. This also stopped my income. I have now been made aware of the fact that this was probably a disguised employment relationship and that if this could be rectified retroactively for the employment relationship that it actually was, I would be entitled to unemployment benefits. I would like to know whether this is the case and what the consequences would be if I were to bring this up. I understand that fines could also be involved here.\n \nThank you in advance for your response.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n If it can be assumed that an employment contract has been created, you must protest against it within 6 months after the last day you worked. You indicate that it was half a year ago, so the question is whether you are not too late.\n In any event, what you have stated is not sufficient to assume an employment contract.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n I agree with my colleague. Hopefully you are not too late in any case so that you may have opportunities.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55014808486237,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-27965-beste-juristen-ik-heb-de-afgelopen-5-jaar-als-zzp-er-gewerkt-voor-een-bedrijf-zij-zijn-gezien-de","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
