As an employer, you will sometimes have to deal with an employee who is unable to work. Dutch employees have extensive protection against the negative consequences of long-term illness. We can help you with both your obligations and your rights. For example, when is a home visit allowed? And what can you do if the employee does not cooperate in the reintegration process?
We know from experience that a well-organized process is often best for both employer and employee. We recommend clear protocols. And if things don't go according to plan, we will be happy to help.
If you would like legal advice, please let us know. You will be called back the same (working) day by one of our attorneys who specializes in advising on sick employees. With our knowledge and experience in your industry, we will have a quick overview of your situation. During this first conversation you will immediately get clarity about the legal opportunities and challenges. Together you will discuss what the possible next steps could be and what the lawyer can do for you. So you know exactly where you stand beforehand.
Poelmann van den Broek also offers the possibility of in-house legal support. This can be useful in the case of understaffing in HR or the temporary need for extra manpower. We offer the secondment of our experts to your organization. Whether for one day or for a longer period, we will provide you with a tailor-made offer at a fixed price.
Would you like to know what your obligations and rights are if your employee is on long-term sick leave? Feel free to contact us and let us inform you personally about the possibilities.
Poelmann van den Broek has been my legal partner since the firm's inception. I often spar with Rudi about zoning plans. With his broad knowledge, practical approach and our shared drive, we made residential zoning possible even in locations where there was a lot of resistance.
