Am I entitled to a severance payment in the event of a transfer of business?

Questioner

Neither the new company nor my current employer can offer me a job in the same scale/function that I have now. There is a transfer of undertaking. What exactly are my rights as an employee? Am I entitled to a severance payment? This concerns a transfer from NH Hotels to Van der Valk hotels.

If the company is transferred, your rights will continue to exist. I advise you to discuss this with a lawyer who specializes in employment law. You can contact us if you wish. We may be able to assist you within our office.
