Sickness, work disability, and reintegration
A team of specialists in employment law in Nijmegen. Committed, driven and creative!
Everyone could be sick for a day. Often within a few days you are recovered and can return to work.
However, if the illness lasts longer, all kinds of rules quickly come into play. After all, as an employee, you have reintegration obligations. As an employee, you must comply with these reintegration obligations in order to retain your right to continued salary payment during illness.
We often see that sickness also involves an employment conflict. Do not hesitate to consult a lawyer immediately. Even if, for example, you do not agree with the company doctor’s assessment of the degree of disability. A lawyer can inform you – in time – what exactly are your rights and obligations during illness and reintegration.
Sometimes you see that a company doctor judges that mediation must take place. You can also come to us for mediation during illness and disability. Our lawyers are specialized in labor law and have participated in various mediations.
Dismissal during illness?
It often happens that a sick employee is offered a settlement agreement. Often the advice then is not to simply agree to the end of the employment contract while you are still sick. After all, you run the risk of losing your benefit rights. However, there are situations where a settlement agreement can be a solution.
Even in such a situation, it is advisable to seek the advice of a lawyer who specializes in employment law and can inform you of your rights and obligations during illness, dismissal, and a settlement agreement.
