I immediately found another job in another sector. I knew that I would earn less and for that reason I started working more. I would then at least have more than with a unemployment benefit.\n As a single mother, I have seriously underestimated working more hours per week. In addition, my new job is not what I expected. If I look at my UWV now, I would receive more in the WW than I earn now. I notice that I am running myself ragged and would prefer to work less. I have asked about this, that possibility is there, but in terms of salary I will earn a lot less. I assume that I will be offered a contract extension. But to be honest, I do not want that, since the work does not suit me either. My questions are:\n \nHow should I approach this? Do I play open cards with my employer? If I do not get a contract extension because I (possibly) indicate to them how I feel about it, they must indicate to the UWV why my contract is not being extended and is there a chance that I have become culpably unemployed? Because when exactly are you culpably unemployed?\n\n I look forward to your response.\n Thank you in advance for your response.\n\n Yours sincerely\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n One option could be to try to find another job. If that works, you could quit your current job. If an offered contract extension is refused, this could result in culpable unemployment, which would cause the UWV to not award benefits. \nIf (some time) after the contract extension you and your employer discover that there is a difference of opinion about the way in which the work should be carried out, your employer could offer a termination agreement. The way in which the termination agreement is drawn up will be important for the question of whether you are eligible for a benefit. Furthermore, for example, there may be no prohibition on termination and your employment contract must contain an interim termination option (this is often standard). If you (in due course) need help with assessing a possible offered termination agreement, please feel free to contact me.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55004183363933,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-65225-goedenavond-na-een-ruim-aantal-bij-dezelfde-werkgever-werkzaam-te-zijn-geweest-ben-ik-daar-met-ee","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
