Labour Law

Labour law relates to the legal aspects of the relationship between an employee and an employer. Such aspects are often stipulated in an employment contract. However, Dutch labour law provides also compulsory rules which cannot be altered by agreement between an employer and an employee. Dutch Labour law is dynamic and conflicts between employees and an employers have resulted in extensive jurisprudence. Therefore, it is recommended to involve a legal expert in negotiations of an employment contract or in an employment conflict so that the necessary legal advice can be obtained.
