Resigning from a job due to burnout

Questioner

Good afternoon, I am at the end of a burn-out and am now working 5 x 6 hours a day again, but I would like to resign because I do not want to return to my old position and do not want to continue working for this company, I have not yet been reported better. What is the best order to follow, first report better or resign immediately and have a settlement agreement drawn up. I have now been offered a new job, the contract for which still needs to be signed. I look forward to hearing from you.

Resigning or entering into a VSO during illness is generally very unwise. You run the risk of losing the right to any benefit (unless that is less important because there is a chance of a new job). I advise you to seek advice and guidance regarding a possible VSO. I can help you with that if necessary. Feel free to contact me without obligation.

You should never resign/agree during illness (detrimental act). That always causes problems. You should only report better when you are actually better. In that case it does not matter whether you do this before or after the VSO. A VSO (almost standard) includes a provision regarding finding/having other work. It is good to have a specialized labor law attorney (member of a specialized association) assist you, such as me. Often the first consultation is free. Many employers also pay the costs for assessing a VSO.

Dear, It is not a 'rule' that resigning during illness is not possible or causes problems. After all, you already have a new job ready. It cannot be ruled out that your burnout is related to the situation at your work. We then call this a situational incapacity for work. I think it is important that you realize that IF you resign (or enter into a VSO) and now start somewhere new, and it would not work there anyway. That questions would then be asked about 'whether it was smart to leave your previous employer'. My advice to you: consult with the employer, possibly they want to enter into a VSO with you and even pay a transition payment. You then put this money aside in case it does not work out with the new employer. In addition, you consult with the UWV. You then simply explain the situation (that you now have burnout and that you expect a change of workplace to contribute to your recovery). You can always call me
