Incapacity for work
Incapacity for work usually impacts more than just the employee in question. An incapacity for work situation may also seriously affect colleagues and the home front, for instance. The manner of communicating and maintaining contact with the employee in question and aiming for solutions, such as reintegration, is crucial. Within our practice group, we therefore look beyond employment law alone. In addition to knowledge of the many legal rules and decisions, we appreciate the social context and all the interests involved, from the health and safety service and company doctor to the UWV (Employee Insurance Agency) and practitioners. We provide you with comprehensive advice, offer extensive support and try to avoid and resolve conflicts through negotiation, coaching or mediation. In the event of a conflict, we diligently protect your interests and have broad experience in conducting proceedings at the UWV or in court, such as:
- Continued payment of wages during sickness
- Duty of care and rehabilitation
- Concurrence of holidays and sickness
- Degree of incapacity for work
- Avoiding extension of the period of continued salary payment
- Wage suspension or discontinuation
- Objection and appeal
- Second opinion and expert opinion
- Liability of company doctor
- Working conditions
- Dismissal of a sick employee
- Obligations after dismissal and own-risk bearer status
- Dormant employment relationships and compensation of transition payment
