What notice period applies to me?

Questioner

Working in secondary vocational education (Education) with a permanent contract (contract start date: 20-08-2020). Now I have found another job. The CAO states a notice period of 3 months. Rijksoverheid states 1 month. Which one is correct?

Lawyer

It is often the case that the collective labor agreement can contain special provisions or exceptions that deviate from the general rules of the law. In this case, if your collective labor agreement specifies a notice period of 3 months, then this is probably the correct notice period for you. However, before you take action, I recommend that you discuss this situation with an employment lawyer or legal advisor to ensure that you take the right steps based on your specific situation and contract. By doing so, you can avoid potentially being in breach of your contract or experiencing unexpected consequences. --------------- Stichting Rechtswinkel.nl is a national organization with students and volunteers.
