Reorganization and collective dismissal under Dutch law
From time to time, companies may need to adjust their organization as a result of changed market conditions. The reorganization of a company may have a significant impact and it may sometimes be economically necessary to make job redundant.
Under Dutch law, the employer must meet specific obligations in connection with a reorganisation, to ensure the protection of the legal rights and interests of employees. In this context, a business case should be drawn up that provides for this.
Prior to the decision-making process of the reorganization, advice may have to be requested from the Works Council (Section 25 WOR).
