What should I do? I have received a settlement agreement.

Questioner

I work as a warehouse employee with a permanent contract in a company. Some time ago I was told that the work will change and there is no longer a place for me. I have now received a settlement agreement. My question now is can I sign it and will this not jeopardize my unemployment benefit.

Lawyer

Often the employer is also prepared to pay (part of) the legal costs. If desired, you can contact us. We can assist you in this.

Lawyer

You should think about, among other things: - notice period - transition payment - unused vacation days - expiry of non-competition clause - etc. etc. It is therefore wise to have a specialized labor law attorney (member of a specialized association) look at it. The employer often pays the costs.
