Why should you seek legal advice on a settlement agreement?

A settlement agreement is not a standard document. It often contains legal wording that can have major implications for your benefits, rights and financial security. These are the main reasons to hire a VSO lawyer:

  • Avoids agreements that jeopardise your right to unemployment benefits.
  • be sure the amount of your fee is correct.
  • discovers whether there is room to negotiate better terms.
  • Gain insight into risks and pitfalls in the deal.
  • stands stronger in discussions with your employer.
  • be sure that all legal provisions are correct.

After 2 years of sickness, I ended up in the WIA. Despite good contact with my employer, the settlement agreement felt a bit sloppy and rushed. I got in touch with Robin from LegalWorx via via and he helped me very quickly and competently. And indeed he discovered some inaccuracies in it. He also took the time and effort to answer my other questions or advise me. In the end, I signed the VSO with good feelings.

Robin, thank you very much! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Due to a difference of opinion with the employer , regarding a VSO, I came across LegalWorx via Google. Even during our first telephone conversation, I knew I had found the right man. Robin is incredibly decisive, skilled and professional. After discussing the VSO, he immediately went to work for me, with the result that an amended version could be sent to the employer the very next day. I found the way he communicated to me incredibly pleasant. His explanations were clear, straightforward and he can be reached at any time of the day! Thanks to Robin, I got a great deal!

Common questions received by our VSO lawyers

What am I entitled to in case of dismissal?2025-08-15T13:42:48+00:00

Upon dismissal, you will in many cases be entitled to a transfer fee, a notice period, payment of outstanding holidays and, depending on the situation, an unemployment benefit. Dismissal via a settlement agreement also offers scope to negotiate higher compensation or additional conditions. Therefore, always have your situation assessed by a VSO lawyer so that you know exactly what you are entitled to and do not miss out on anything.

Is a VSO wise?2025-08-15T13:42:47+00:00

A settlement agreement (VSO) can be sensible, provided the terms are well defined. It allows you to come to an agreement with your employer about your dismissal, such as compensation, work release and preservation of your unemployment benefit entitlement. However, it is crucial that the agreement is legally correct. A VSO drafted incorrectly could have unpleasant consequences, such as loss of your benefits.

When is it best to engage a VSO lawyer?2025-08-15T13:42:47+00:00

As soon as you receive a settlement agreement or notice that dismissal is becoming negotiable, it is wise to seek legal advice. The earlier you are there, the better you can determine your position.

What exactly does an employment law lawyer do for me?2025-08-15T13:43:14+00:00

An employment law lawyer will assess your situation, check whether your rights are respected, negotiate with the employer on your behalf and, if necessary, draft an amended proposal or new agreement.

What is the difference between a lawyer and a lawyer in dismissal?2025-08-15T13:43:14+00:00

Like a lawyer, a legal expert specialises in employment law but does not litigate in court. For negotiations and advice on a VSO, a lawyer is usually sufficient.

Is free legal advice on redundancy reliable?2025-08-15T13:43:14+00:00

Yes. At Transitievergoedingberekenen.nl, you will receive professional advice from experienced dismissal lawyers. Thanks to the employer's legal budget, we can often offer our help for free, without compromising on quality.

Can I ask for a VSO myself?2025-08-15T13:43:14+00:00

Yes, you yourself can take the initiative to propose a settlement agreement (VSO) to your employer. This often happens when you notice that the working relationship is under pressure or when you prefer to part ways by mutual agreement. A VSO avoids lengthy proceedings and provides space to negotiate on issues such as severance pay, notice period or exemption from work.

Can I negotiate my VSO?2025-08-15T13:43:14+00:00

Yes, negotiating your settlement agreement is not only possible, but often wise. Employers usually initially offer a standard proposal, but there is often more to be gained from it. Think of a higher severance payment, relief from work, dropping a non-competition clause or reimbursement of legal fees. With the help of a VSO lawyer, you will be stronger at the negotiating table.

A good example of this is the story of Jan Onderhandel. With legal support, Jan managed to increase his severance pay to twice the statutory transitional compensation and even received three months' extra salary.

What does legal advice on redundancy cost?2025-08-15T13:43:14+00:00

In most cases, legal advice on dismissal costs you nothing at all. This is because employers often include a budget for legal support in the settlement agreement. Is this not the case? Then we will include these costs in the negotiations with your employer. Should any costs remain, you will always be informed in advance and we will only ask for your written approval if you agree.
