Sometimes the UWV will not yet process this application because the employer has not fulfilled his obligations. UWV then decides that the wage payment obligation will be extended. So what should an employee do? How do you ensure that you still receive your salary?

Legal advice is essential to avoid problems relating to tax and social premiums. Employment law varies [...]

WWZ & wage claim. Petition or subpoena?

The dismissal law would become simpler. Therefore, the petition procedure would become the rule in dismissal cases. But in labor law, many cases still remain that begin with a subpoena.

Appeal possible in dismissal cases

Until 1 July 2015, no appeal can be lodged against dismissal decisions. That will be different. Employees who have been dismissed can already receive unemployment benefits and can also collect the severance pay. Their employers run the risk that the higher court will reverse their dismissal.
