Do you have a conflict with your employer or employee? Are you facing dismissal, a settlement agreement or a wage dispute? An employment law lawyer at Arslan Advocaten will help you protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome.
Employment law matters often have significant financial and personal consequences. That is precisely why it is important to seek legal advice in a timely manner. We assist you with clear explanations, a sharp strategy and decisive action.
When should you engage an employment law lawyer?
In practice, we notice that clients often seek legal advice too late. That is unfortunate, because unnecessary rights have already been forfeited by then. An employment law lawyer can be engaged in the following situations, among others:
- Dismissal (summary dismissal, redundancy, underperformance)
- Settlement agreement (VSO)
- Wage claims and outstanding salary
- Incapacity for work and reintegration
- Non-competition and non-solicitation clauses
- Employment disputes and strained working relationships
In all these situations, the sooner you seek advice, the stronger your position.
Dismissal and your rights
Dismissal is one of the most far-reaching events in employment law. Whether it concerns summary dismissal or termination by mutual consent, the consequences are significant. An employment law lawyer assesses, among other things:
- whether the dismissal is legally sustainable;
- whether you are entitled to a transition payment;
- whether a fair compensation award is possible;
- what the consequences are for your unemployment benefit rights.

Having a settlement agreement reviewed
With a settlement agreement, the dismissal often appears to be "neatly arranged", but appearances can be deceptive. The content of the agreement largely determines your financial future. An employment law lawyer checks, among other things:
- the amount of the severance payment;
- the end date of the employment;
- holiday days and bonus arrangements;
- the non-competition or non-solicitation clause;
- the unemployment benefit safety of the agreement.
In many cases, we succeed in negotiating better terms for you.

Wage claims and outstanding salary
Are you not being (fully) paid for the work you have performed? Then a wage claim may be necessary. An employment law lawyer helps you claim:
- outstanding wages;
- holiday pay;
- overtime;
- statutory increase and interest.
Often a firm legal letter is sufficient to compel payment. If necessary, we litigate on your behalf.
Incapacity for work and reintegration
In cases of illness, tensions regularly arise between employer and employee. Think of disputes about reintegration, suitable work or wage suspension. As employment law lawyers, we assess whether your employer is complying with its statutory obligations and we stand up for you if it is not.
For employees and employers
Arslan Advocaten represents both employees and employers. For employers, this means practical and strategic guidance in dismissal procedures, file building and prevention of legal risks. For employees, this means maximum protection of rights and income.
Costs of an employment law lawyer
The costs of an employment law lawyer depend on the nature and complexity of the case. In some situations - such as reviewing a settlement agreement - the employer pays (part of) the lawyer's fees. We always discuss clearly in advance what you can expect.
