A disruption of the employment relationship: this is a reason to terminate the employment contract. However, this only applies if the employer cannot reasonably be expected to continue the employment contract.
The disruption of the employment relationship must be such that it justifies termination of the employment contract. This is by no means always the case. Dismissal or termination is not always the solution.
As an employee, you often do not know exactly how to deal with such a difficult situation with your employer. Emotions are often running high and sometimes even sick leave is involved.
At Kop Advocaten, we can help you if you are dealing with a disrupted employment relationship or a labour dispute with your employer. It is often best not to wait too long before taking steps to resolve the labour dispute. After all, the employment relationship can be restored. The longer you wait to resolve the conflict, the worse the chances are that the employment relationship will actually be restored.
Mediation: a mandatory preliminary stage?
In published case law on termination due to a disrupted working relationship, you will see that judges often attach importance to whether mediation has already been attempted to restore the working relationship.
A solicitor can also help you find a suitable mediator. At Kop Solicitors, we also specialise in assisting clients with such mediation processes.
