Settlement Agreement Weststellingwerf

You received a settlement agreement in Weststellingwerf and want it checked by a specialist. Look no further—this is the right place. In order to safeguard your right to WW (unemployment) benefits, several points must be explicitly included in the settlement agreement (also called a termination agreement or severance agreement). For instance, it should state that your employer took the initiative to end the employment contract and that there was no ‘urgent reason’ behind the termination. It’s also smart to confirm in the agreement that the termination is not related to any statutory prohibition on dismissal, such as illness, pregnancy, or serving on the Works Council (OR). Beyond that, there are many arrangements a settlement agreement usually addresses, such as a possible non-compete or restrictive covenant, confidentiality clauses (geheimhoudingsbeding), severance pay, final settlement details, and the notice period. All of these must be handled in a legally secure manner to prevent future complications. We are happy to help.

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.

Settlement Agreement Support

Need help with a settlement agreement in Weststellingwerf? Whether your document is in English or Dutch, our experts at Wolderwijd Juristen ensure your rights are protected. A settlement agreement (in Dutch: vaststellingsovereenkomst) is a mutual agreement to end your employment contract, often including a severance payment and WW-benefits eligibility.

We review your contract within 24 hours and negotiate with your employer if needed—all for a fixed rate of just € 749.00 (PROMO 2025: € 499.00 excl. VAT).

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.

Timeframe for Checking Your Settlement Agreement

Let’s say your employer in Weststellingwerf gave you a severance agreement and is urging you to sign immediately—often because of the notice period. In practice, this happens often, and employees sometimes skip having their agreement legally reviewed. That can be risky, as the UWV will assess if your agreement is valid for WW (unemployment) benefits. We at Wolderwijd regret that the legal sector can seem closed off or hard to reach, and also that it’s perceived as expensive (costs). We encourage employees to always get a settlement agreement checked before signing. That’s why we promise a 24-hour turnaround on workdays. If you send us your documents today, you’ll have our advice by tomorrow. Let a Wolderwijd employment jurist confirm whether your termination contract is ‘WW-proof’ and if the offered severance is fair. The reason is an important factor. We also check all other relevant details of your settlement agreement, then provide you with concise, tailored advice. As an employee living in Weststellingwerf, you’ll have a solid legal review of your severance agreement within 24 hours (on workdays). Don’t hesitate—contact one of our jurists for honest, understandable advice.

Signed the Settlement Agreement—Now What?

If we, in consultation with you, have reached a good agreement on the conditions for ending your employment, you’ll sign the settlement agreement. At that point, the formal legal process is essentially complete. Our job is done. But for you, as an employee, this is often where it actually starts. Some employees may move straight to another job, but most need some time to adapt to the new situation and find a new job. Questions like “What do I really want out of my career?” or “Where are my best opportunities in the labor market?” and practical issues such as applying for an unemployment benefit will likely pop up. We think it’s only logical to help you find answers. Though the purely legal process may be finished, our aftercare doesn’t end there. For instance, we can refer you to career counselors or answer your practical questions about the end of your employment. We love seeing you return once you’ve found a new challenge. We view this as a natural part of our role and a logical extension of aftercare once you’ve signed the termination agreement. Accessibility is one of our core values, and we recognize that for you as an employee, it doesn’t end with signing—the next phase is just beginning.
