De Unie, in your interest
To the content

Unfortunately, many companies sometimes feel compelled to reorganize. Such an event can fall on you raw and have a major impact - even if it has been rumored for some time. One moment you are working carefree, the next you suddenly have to fear for your job. Your employment contract, collective labor agreement or social plan states what you are entitled to. But yes, what does that actually mean?

What should I pay attention to?
People can be fired during a reorganization. If there are twenty or more within three months, there is collective redundancy. Your employer must always report this to the UWV and trade unions. The latter will then talk to your employer to draw up a social plan: a list of agreements, terms and conditions that come into effect in the event of reorganizations and redundancies. Here is what you are entitled to. Instead of dismissal, your employer can also offer you a termination agreement. You will then agree to terminate your employment by mutual consent, and the arrangements for termination will be laid down in the agreement.
What does this mean for me?
Your work situation can change drastically and you can lose your job due to a reorganization. You often have little influence on this. You do have rights, for example those set out in your social plan or termination agreement. Are you getting fired? Then in many cases you are entitled to a transition payment and unemployment benefit.
