Your employer’s correspondence, the works council advice, the UWV file and the court submissions will be in Dutch. Ask whether the lawyer will read and answer those in Dutch while explaining and drafting to you in English — and whether the settlement agreement itself will be made bilingual. A lawyer who only speaks English in the meeting leaves you approving documents you cannot check yourself.

Most Dutch dismissals end in a settlement agreement, and reviewing and renegotiating one is a defined piece of work that can be quoted as a fixed fee. Many employers pay a contribution to the employee’s legal costs as part of the deal, so ask whether that is on the table before you agree to an open hourly arrangement.

Ịchụpụ mmadụ chọrọ ala na ụzọ
Under article 7:669 of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) an employer may only terminate an employment contract if there is a reasonable ground for doing so and there is no scope for redeployment within a reasonable period, if necessary with training. The grounds are listed exhaustively and lettered a to i: they run from redundancy on economic grounds and long-term incapacity for work through underperformance, culpable conduct and a damaged working relationship, to the residual “i” ground that allows a combination of partly-made grounds.

Ọnwụ: ihe na-agafe agafe
An employee whose contract is ended at the employer’s initiative is entitled to a statutory transition payment (na-agafe agafe) from the first day of employment. The formula is one third of a gross monthly salary for each full year of service, calculated pro rata for part years. In 2026 the payment is capped at €102,000 gross — or, where the employee’s gross annual salary is higher than that, at one gross annual salary.
That is the floor, not the ceiling. Where an employer has acted in a seriously culpable way, a court can award additional fair compensation (na-agba ọsọ) n'elu, na n'ọpụpụ a na-akparịta ụka, ịkwụ ụgwọ mgbanwe na-abụkarị ebe mmalite kama ịbụ ọnụọgụgụ ikpeazụ.
Nkwekọrịta nkwekọrịta ahụ na ụbọchị iri na anọ ahụ
Article 7:670b of the Civil Code gives you the right to dissolve a settlement agreement within fourteen days of signing, in writing, without giving any reason. If your employer failed to mention that right in the agreement, the period is three weeks instead of two. The right cannot be contracted away, and it exists precisely so that you can take advice after signing.
Two practical points tend to decide whether a settlement agreement is a good one: whether it is drafted so that you keep your entitlement to unemployment benefit — which requires the termination to be at the employer’s initiative and without an urgent cause — and how it deals with the non-competition clause, any bonus or share entitlement, and the final reference.
Ọ bụrụ na ikike gị ịnọrọ dabere n'ọrụ ahụ
For a highly skilled migrant, losing the job starts a search period. Since 22 May 2026, an employee who has held the residence permit for less than two years has three months from the end of the employment to find a new position with an IND-recognised sponsor at the required salary level; where the permit has been held for two years or longer, that period is six months. The search period can never run past the expiry date of the permit itself.

Na nchịkọta
- The route to dismissal — UWV, subdistrict court or settlement agreement — follows the ground; ask which one applies to you in the first conversation.
- You are entitled to a statutory transition payment, capped at €102,000 gross in 2026, and this is usually a starting point rather than the final figure.
- A settlement agreement can be dissolved within fourteen days of signing (three weeks if that right was not mentioned in the agreement).
- If your residence permit depends on your job, the search period after dismissal is three or six months depending on how long you have held the permit, and it cannot run past the permit’s expiry date.
- Ask for a fixed fee on reviewing and renegotiating the settlement agreement, and ask who covers your file during the reflection period.

Ego ole ka ọkaiwu ọrụ na-eri na Netherlands?
Hourly rates at Dutch commercial firms vary widely by city and seniority. For a defined piece of work such as reviewing and renegotiating a settlement agreement, ask for a fixed fee; for litigation before the subdistrict court, ask for an estimate per phase. Where your income is below the statutory threshold, subsidised legal aid may be available through the Raad voor Rechtsbijstand.
Enwere ike ịchụpụ m mgbe m nọ n'ezumike ọrịa?
During the first two years of illness there is a statutory prohibition on termination, with exceptions including dismissal during probation, for an urgent cause, or on the closure of the business. The prohibition does not prevent the parties from agreeing an exit, but a settlement agreement signed while you are genuinely unfit for work can jeopardise your benefit entitlement, which is why the timing needs checking first.
Ogologo oge ole ka okwu gbasara ịchụpụ mmadụ na-ewe?
A settlement agreement can be concluded within days. A UWV dismissal permit application typically runs to a small number of weeks, and subdistrict court proceedings usually take a few months from petition to decision, longer if there is an appeal.
