Settlement Agreement Check in Bergambacht

If you have received a settlement agreement (vaststellingsovereenkomst) in Bergambacht, you may have many questions. Will I still be entitled to WW (unemployment) benefits? Is the offered compensation correct? Should I sign or not? It’s wise to have your settlement agreement (sometimes also called a severance agreement or termination contract) legally reviewed by a specialist. At Wolderwijd, we have two legal professionals specialized in employment and dismissal law. We do everything we can to ensure you retain your right to WW benefits. The UWV (Dutch benefits agency) will check whether you were actually allowed to agree to the settlement or not. Certain crucial elements must be explicitly included in your termination agreement. If they’re missing, your WW benefits could be at risk. Examples of these critical elements include: whose initiative it was, confirmation that there’s no urgent reason (dringende reden), the notice period, and the offered compensation. There are also many other arrangements that may appear in a settlement agreement, such as clauses about cancelling a non-compete or restrictive covenant, confidentiality clauses, details about severance pay, and the final settlement. All of these aspects must be watertight from a legal standpoint to avoid unpleasant surprises in the future. We’re happy to assist you and would first like to know the reason this termination agreement was offered to you. That reason or trigger is very important and determines whether the current dismissal proposal is acceptable or not.

Method

Our approach is simple and efficient. We need three things in order to give you proper advice: (1) the settlement agreement (vaststellingsovereenkomst or severance agreement), (2) a recent payslip, and (3) your most recent employment contract (if you still have it). With these documents and your story (or the reason for termination), we provide a clear advice report. This report is written in plain language, showing whether the agreement is fair for your situation. We’ll send you this report by email (within 24 hours), and you can discuss it with friends or family. The following workday, we’ll call you to go through the advice and address your questions or comments. Only after all your questions are answered do we discuss any possible follow-up steps. We believe you should never be worse off by negotiating, so negotiation is always free at our firm—see also: Costs.

Costs Related to Dismissal

“Our firm has been active in employment and dismissal law for over six years. We mainly advise employees outside the courtroom but can also represent them in court if necessary. We assist employees across the country, guided by a unique concept for individuals. Here’s how it works: imagine you sign a settlement agreement with a transition payment of €10,000 (gross, meaning you’d keep about half after taxes). If you receive an attorney’s bill for more than €2,500, there’s not much left for you. That can’t be the intention. At Wolderwijd, we do things differently.

In 90% of the cases, your employer covers the legal fees (meaning you pay nothing). Should this (for any reason!) fail, we only charge you for reviewing your settlement agreement: just € 749.00 (PROMO 2025: € 499.00 excl. VAT). Let a Wolderwijd employment law jurist verify whether your termination agreement is truly ‘WW-proof’ and whether the severance payment you’re offered is fair.

Because we use this special fixed rate for employees, you need never fear unexpected high bills afterward. We genuinely want to help you move forward. We’ll happily advise you, wherever you live. “Together, we can achieve the best result for your situation and future,” says Mr. M.S. Ducaat. Of course, you don’t have to take our word on the quality of our service; since 2015, we’ve been using the (external) platform Klantenvertellen.nl so that our clients can share their experiences.
