Can an employer remove you from your job because he has another candidate?

Questioner

I have been a manager with a permanent contract for 3 years. I work 24 hours. However, the employer wants a manager who works 32 hours. Can the employer simply dismiss me from my position? I have not been asked to work more in order to keep my position. There have never been any complaints about my performance as a manager.

The short and sweet answer is no, that is not possible. There may be circumstances that require flexibility from an employee, but in such cases there must always be consultation. It may be a good idea to discuss the specific situation with each other without obligation. You can contact us via boksjuristen.nl
