Experts consider that Work and Security is irrelevant – NU.nl

This takes a group of over a thousand lawyers, entrepreneurs, and labor lawyers, according to a study by the Erasmus University where Het Financieele Dagblad and De Volkskrant Thursday about reports .

Judges appoint the new law, which was introduced exactly a year ago, more resignation requests from companies off. In Rotterdam this happened even four times since July 1, 2015.

That is contrary to the intent of the law, which is easier redundancies must make faster and less costly for employers.

employers must now build wants the court to adopt a firmer dismissal case. Employers are therefore more likely to settle in a case, also according to the study. For this reason companies give temporary employees also less likely to contract.

Critical

This is the first time since the introduction of the WWZ which has done extensive research. The law should people quickly help to find permanent employment and reduce flex contracts, but soon there were signals from the parliament that the opposite happened.

D66 has now requested a debate with Minister Lodewijk Asscher (Social Affairs) to discuss the problems.

severance

In almost three-quarters of the settlement business is the distribution higher than the transitional allowance, the old severance pay, which employers with WWZ are required to pay.

Workers have the right after two years on the transition allowance, based on years of service and salary. The fee is a

maximum of 76,000 euros or equal to one year’s salary.

According to the study there was an average of 19,000 euros in the first eleven months of the law given to transition fee. That is called a plus of WWZ, since the old sub-district court formula was more expensive.

That’s dismissal for employers not necessarily become cheaper. The free route via the UWV is in fact disappeared. Now go dismissal only by the benefits agency with long-term disability and economic reasons.

More security

The unions contradict the WWZ not work. FNV, the largest trade union in the Netherlands, was investigating 4,500 cases dismissal and collective agreements of the past year. It FNV contends that employees now have more security in case of dismissal and there would be more permanent jobs have been added.

According to the CNV there is a change, and in some sectors a growing employment. The union is willing to custom when there are problems with the employers.

For the analysis, records used in the last quarter of 2014 when the law had not yet been introduced, and the last quarter of 2015 after the introduction of the WWZ
