Hi all,
I am wondering if it is possible for a company in the Netherlands to make an employee redundant after only several months of employment?
Just asking as my company is not in a great financial situation and I know people's heads will be on the chopping block.
If so what type of redundancy pay will the employees get? I am seeing conflicting information online.
One states that there is no official redundancy, i.e. employer and employee must come to a mutual agreement, or via court, or dismissal via serious misconduct.
On the other hand I see that if an employee has worked for less than 2 years, then the "transitional pay" is not applicable, i.e. employee receives nothing....
Which is true? Not sure if I should be worried.
Thanks for any advice.
Redundancy after several months?
Hi,
I'm going back a long time and perhaps things have changed, but it used to be that if you worked for a company for less than 2 years, you just got a months notice (pay), plus any holiday pay owed.
My advice is to speak to a lawyer.
