Labour law

Better to prevent than to solve

Entrepreneurs often trust that they can resolve disputes with employees through good communication. Unfortunately, we also see cases where things take a different turn. When it comes time to terminate an employment contract, having well-maintained personnel files is essential. Employment law issues are often underestimated. At CROP, we prefer to prevent problems rather than fix them later.

Personnel File
Rest assured: you’re not the only business owner who hasn’t prioritized personnel files. Nowadays, a personnel file needs to contain more than just performance reviews. Since the introduction of the Dutch Wet Werk en Zekerheid (Work and Security Act), going to the subdistrict court without a proper personnel file is almost hopeless. We can help you establish a solid personnel file. When the time comes, it can make all the difference.

Non-compete Clause
When an employee leaves, you don’t want the knowledge of your organization and clients ending up with a competitor. But is your agreed-upon non-compete and non-solicitation clause still valid? Since January 1, 2015, you can no longer include non-compete or non-solicitation clauses in temporary employment contracts. We’ll explain what your options are and answer questions such as:

  • What should I include in my employment contracts?
  • Can I unilaterally change the terms of employment, and how do I handle this legally?
  • Does my non-compete and non-solicitation clause still comply with laws and regulations?
  • Which collective labor agreement (CLA) applies to my business, and what does this mean for my operations?
  • Am I required to set up a works council (OR), and what are its rights and powers?
  • How do I handle a workplace conflict or long-term employee illness?
  • How do I approach a (collective) dismissal process?

This is how we can assist you
