Webinar on dismissal for economic reasons

The Netherlands has been hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak and many of us will be affected by the consequences. The Dutch government has introduced various measures to ensure that companies and employees within the Netherlands get through this crisis as best as possible. That does not alter the fact that many companies will get into trouble, and might have to dismiss employees due to the consequences of this crisis. Therefore, Höcker Advocaten organizes a webinar about dismissal for economic reasons.

During the webinar, the following topics will be discussed:

• How do I motivate my dismissal application?
• What are the rules regarding the selection of employees who are nominated for dismissal?
• What is expected of me as an employer regarding the reassignment of employees?
• Can I fire someone for economic reasons when I cannot complete the dismissal for personal reasons?
• Is the transition payment always due?

The above are a selection of questions that will be discussed during the webinar. We encourage the participants to send in questions or case studies beforehand so that we can include them in the preparation and discuss them during the webinar. There is also plenty of room to ask questions during the webinar; the interactive nature makes the webinar a lively and informative form of knowledge exchange and knowledge gathering.

After registration you will receive more information on the application we use and the login details for the webinar.
