A settlement agreement This could have significant consequences for your income, your entitlement to unemployment benefit and your negotiating position. I will carry out an initial review of the settlement agreement free of charge, so that the barrier to seeking legal advice is low.

Clarity on your VSO in three steps

After receiving your application, one of our specialised dismissal lawyers will review your settlement agreement. We will check that the agreement is legally sound and that your rights are adequately protected.

After our dismissal lawyers have finished reviewing your VSO, you will receive no-obligation advice. In our advice, we answer the following questions:

  • Is the level of transitional compensation correct?
  • Is your entitlement to unemployment benefits secured?
  • Are your outstanding holidays paid out correctly?
  • Can you already look for other work during the notice period?
  • Is there room to negotiate a higher fee?

  • Is the notice period legally correct?

7 reasons why I always recommend a VSO check

A settlement agreement must be drafted correctly from a legal point of view. In my 15 years’ experience in this field, I have, unfortunately, regularly seen that minor errors can have major consequences for entitlement to unemployment benefit, severance pay or one’s negotiating position.

I recommend a VSO check because:

  1. your entitlement to unemployment benefit must remain protected;
  2. the severance pay is often negotiable;
  3. unfavourable clauses are not always immediately apparent;
  4. errors regarding the notice period may have financial consequences;
  5. agreements regarding time off work must be clear;
  6. non-competition or non-solicitation clauses could limit your future prospects;
  7. you usually only have one chance to negotiate the terms.

What do I check during a VSO check?

  • Whether there is scope to negotiate better terms.
  • Whether the dismissal is not attributed to you as being your fault.
  • Whether the initiative to terminate the contract lies with your employer.
  • A quick guide to retaining your entitlement to unemployment benefit.
  • Whether the correct notice period is being applied.
  • Whether the severance pay has been correctly included.
  • Whether non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality clauses will affect your future.
  • Whether agreements on holiday entitlement, bonus schemes and exemption from work have been properly documented.
  • Whether provision has been made for legal costs.

Dennis

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mr Bos

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! I would like to thank you once again for your help. I will definitely recommend LegalWorx to people who need professional legal help. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Leon

I really liked how quickly you responded to my request for verification of the VSO. On the phone, we discussed my situation and then you took action towards my employer very quickly.

Thanks for all the information, tips, checks, etc. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently asked questions about a VSO audit

Because small mistakes can have big consequences, such as losing your unemployment benefit or being underpaid. A lawyer will see exactly where your interests can be better recorded.

The review of your settlement agreement and the initial consultation are absolutely free. You are not tied to anything and will receive personalised advice within 30 minutes if you submit your request before 17:30.

Then we say so honestly. Is there nothing to improve? Then you do not have to do anything, nor do you pay.

In 98% of cases, nothing at all. There is often a legal budget included in the VSO, so the costs are reimbursed by the employer.

Exemption from work is often agreed when the employment relationship has already been disrupted or when both parties want to work quietly towards the end of employment. You will then no longer have to work, but will keep your salary until the end date.

Yes, provided the settlement agreement is legally correct. The reason for dismissal must be neutral, and the notice period must be correct. Therefore, always have a check that your unemployment benefit entitlement is secured.
