Settlement Agreement Check in Leeuwarden

If you have received a settlement agreement (vaststellingsovereenkomst) in Leeuwarden, 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.

The Check of Your Settlement Agreement

First, we look at the reason why you received a settlement (termination) agreement. We want to fully understand your perspective. Based on your input, we assess the proposal. For this, we require three documents: the settlement agreement, a recent payslip, and your most recent employment contract (if you have it). We then draft a concise advice report, which you’ll receive by email. This report shows what might be reasonable in your situation and whether the employer’s proposal is acceptable. Any deviations and your questions form the basis of the next (phone) discussion. We only proceed with further actions if you wish. Also, before we send any communication to the employer, we share it with you for approval. As for costs, you don’t need to worry: we aim to have the employer cover them. If that (for any reason) doesn’t succeed, negotiation is free for you—guaranteed! Read more at: Costs.

Legal Costs?

Due to the high hourly rates in traditional law offices (about €250 excluding VAT), some people decide not to seek legal help. This can have severe consequences, and it’s certainly not how it should be. You deserve a fair price that reflects the service you receive. At Wolderwijd, we do things differently, helping you for just € 749.00 (PROMO 2025: € 499.00 excl. VAT). That rate covers both review and advice. If needed, we then negotiate with the employer. We always attempt to have our costs covered by your employer (90% success). If the employer (for whatever reason) will not pay, you only pay the review fee: € 749.00 (PROMO 2025: € 499.00 excl. VAT). Negotiation is thus free for you. This way, you can decide to negotiate without fearing additional costs. We believe this is fair. If you agree, we’ll gladly review your settlement agreement.
