Is your organisation facing a reorganisation or downsizing? Marxman Advocaten in Amersfoort guides employers through the entire process – from strategic preparation to implementation. We advise on the principle of proportional representation, the application for redundancy authorisation from the UWV, the social plan and the role of the works council, ensuring that you reorganise carefully and with manageable risks. Marxman assists employers with, amongst other things: determining the correct order of redundancy, drawing up a social plan, applying for redundancy permits from the UWV, and communicating with the works council and the employees concerned.

The principle of proportional representation

In the event of redundancy on commercial grounds, the proportionality principle determines which employees are made redundant. Applying this principle requires great care – a single error can render a redundancy untenable. Marxman calculates the correct proportionality and provides a sound basis for the decisions you make.

The UWV process and the redundancy plan

A reorganisation is carried out either through the UWV or by means of a settlement agreement. We draw up the application for dismissal, oversee the procedure and advise on a redundancy plan that suits your organisation and the agreements made with trade unions or the works council.

The role of the works council

A major reorganisation often requires consultation. We ensure that the consultation process with the works council is carried out correctly, so that your decision is not subsequently overturned by the Enterprise Chamber.
