FAQs

Q: What is the difference between dismissal through a VSO and dismissal through the UWV?

In a VSO, you and your employer agree on the termination of employment. You have more room to negotiate on issues such as compensation or the termination date. With dismissal through the UWV, the procedure is formal and the UWV tests in advance whether the dismissal is permissible. This provides legal certainty, but there is less room for customisation and additional agreements.

Q: What happens if my VSO does not meet the UWV's requirements?

If the VSO is not drawn up correctly, the UWV may reject your WW claim. You will then temporarily or fully lose your right to benefits. To avoid this, it is wise to have the agreement checked by a lawyer beforehand.
