Our employment law lawyers check every day for determination agreements. We know what employers try to do as standard, where the pitfalls are and how much room there really is to negotiate. In 95% cases, we achieve a better arrangement than the initial proposal.
✓ No costs for you: your employer almost always pays the legal costs
✓ No risk of errors: no missed benefits, no missed WW
✓ Often thousands of euros more in compensation than the first bid

Frequently asked questions about assignment agreements
That depends on your years of service and salary. Legally, you are entitled to the transition allowance, but often a higher severance payment is possible. We will calculate this for you.
Yes. You are never obligated to sign. So don’t be pressured into signing. Ask for advice, review your options, and then make your decision.
In most cases, a labor law attorney is sufficient. He or she is well-versed in the law and the practices of VSO’s. With us, you receive immediate advice from a specialized attorney — free of charge and without obligation.
They assess whether your agreement is legally correct, whether the compensation is fair, and whether you are not at risk of losing your unemployment benefits or other rights. If necessary, negotiations are conducted on your behalf.
Together with your employer, you make arrangements regarding the end of your employment contract. As soon as both of you sign, the termination of employment is fixed. There is a cooling-off period of 14 days. With legal advice, you can be sure that you won’t be held to account for anything.

When do you get a fixed-term employment contract?
Employers offer a VSO in all sorts of situations. Sometimes because the company is downsizing, sometimes because cooperation is strained, or because you are sick and returning to work proves difficult. Whatever the reason: a fixed-term agreement is never mandatory. You always have the right to say ‘no’ or to seek legal advice first.
Yet many people feel pressured. It is said that this is the “best option,” or that otherwise you won’t get anything at all. But the truth? In virtually all cases, there is indeed room for negotiation. That is exactly what we are here to do.
What should be included in a good VSO?
A watertight employment agreement includes more than just an end date and a compensation package. It should clearly state that you are entitled to an unemployment benefit. It should also include arrangements regarding vacation days, bonuses, retirement, and possibly a certificate of employment.
Does that sound logical? It is. But still, mistakes happen often. Many employers use standard models that lack crucial components or are poorly designed. And the consequences of that are always on you.
Therefore, always check your agreement before signing.
Calculate your transition allowance now and come well prepared.
Legal advice regarding a determination agreement is not a luxury
We hear it every day: “I wish I had known about this earlier.” Many people sign contracts too quickly, thinking that they have ‘no other choice’. But that’s not true. With legal advice, you do know what your options are and you almost always get a better deal.
Our employment law lawyers have already reviewed more than 10,000 settlement agreements together. We know exactly what is customary, what could be improved, and how employers respond to a well-founded counteroffer. No bluffing, no empty promises, but concrete improvements.
