//edit: apparently that’s incorrect for the Netherlands. Must have mixed that up.
- stoltzmann 4y agoThat's incorrect. Employers in the Netherlands must have a valid reason to fire staff - see https://business.gov.nl/running-your-business/staff/dismissing-staff/grounds-for-dismissal/ https://business.gov.nl/running-your-business/staff/dismissi...
- the_mitsuhiko 4y agoI just saw. For some reason I thought that the Netherlands have no restrictions there but apparently I was wrong.
- Etheryte 4y agoThis is not true at all. It's notoriously hard to fire someone in the Netherlands.
- lucb1e 4y agoI've always wondered about this. In my contract, it says there is a few months' notice period, both when I want to stop working there as well as when they want me to stop working there. When reviewing the contract, it sounded reasonable and I just assumed that when I get the notice, that's how it is. Later, I learned of these "there must be a valid reason" type of protections. Does that make this whole clause void? Or even working in my favor, that is: even if there is a valid reason, our contract adds those months of notice period?
