Littler Netherlands

Holiday accrual during dormant employment? Dutch courts have taken different approaches to this question in recent years, creating uncertainty for employers dealing with long-term incapacity cases and so-called “dormant” employment relationships. The District Court of Rotterdam has now referred preliminary questions to the Dutch Supreme Court in an effort to obtain clarity on whether employees continue to accrue vacation entitlements during such periods. Given the time involved in UWV dismissal procedures and statutory notice periods, the answer may have significant financial consequences in practice. In our latest blog, we discuss the recent developments, the conflicting case law and the question now before the Dutch Supreme Court.

Ben jij een ervaren (juridisch) secretaresse die blij wordt van structuur, taal en het ondersteunen van een hecht team? Krijg jij energie van regelen, organiseren en nét dat stapje extra zetten? En werk je graag in een omgeving waar professionaliteit en een fijne werksfeer hand in hand gaan – mét een internationale dynamiek? Dan maken wij graag kennis met jou! Voor ons kantoor in Amsterdam zoeken wij een (juridisch) secretaresse voor 24-32 uur per week (waarbij beschikbaarheid op maandag belangrijk is). Je komt terecht in een betrokken en informeel team, midden in de bruisende De Pijp. Tegelijkertijd maak je deel uit van Littler: een internationaal opererend advocatenkantoor met kantoren over de hele wereld. Samen met onze officemanager en twee officeassistenten vorm je het Office Management team. Naast jouw secretariële werkzaamheden ondersteun je ook bij de dagelijkse organisatie van kantoor. Denk aan het beheren van agenda’s en inboxen, het verwerken van declaraties, het voorbereiden van lunches en het zorgen voor een nette en prettige werkomgeving. Geen dag is hetzelfde – en juist die afwisseling maakt het werk zo leuk. Enthousiast geworden? Volg de https://lnkd.in/ehteahri naar onze website voor de volledige vacature tekst.

Do employees have the right to determine their own working hours? Under the Dutch Flexible Working Act, employees may request adjustments to their working hours and schedules. But to what extent does an employer have to accommodate such requests? A recent ruling by the Zwolle Subdistrict Court provides further guidance on the balance between employee flexibility and business interests. In our latest blog, we discuss the decision and the practical implications for employers.

New episode of Littler Explains!: Dismissal After a TUPE Transfer, Explained! When a business transfers, employees often tag along. But does that also mean dismissal is not at all an option? In this episode, our host Jasper Hoffstedde speaks with Wouter Engelsman and Isa Hooijmaijers about a recent Dutch Supreme Court judgment that clarifies how employers should approach dismissal after a TUPE transfer, and in particular the role of ETO reasons (economic, technical or organisational grounds). The Court introduces an important nuance that will be highly relevant in practice, especially for employers navigating reorganisations following a transfer. What does this mean in concrete terms, and where exactly is the line drawn? We explore the legal framework, the case itself, and the practical implications for employers in the Netherlands.
