Wage Claim after Unlawful Dismissal in Westland: Up to What Amounts?

In Westland, the heart of Dutch greenhouse horticulture, in the event of null dismissal you do not serve a notice period and retain your right to wages. How do you claim this from greenhouse companies or growers?

Statutory Rules in Westland

Article 7:677 of the Dutch Civil Code obliges employers in Westland, such as greenhouse horticulture companies in Monster or Naaldwijk, to continue paying wages for up to four weeks after dissolution. In cases of prohibited reasons such as membership of CNV Vakmensen or pregnancy, this often extends further via a damages claim. Maximum amounts: up to €80,000 gross per year, depending on seniority in the sector.

Calculation Examples for Westlanders

  • Monthly salary €4,000 (typical for greenhouse worker or cultivation manager): €16,000 for 4 weeks.
  • With damages: Up to full-time equivalent until new job with another grower in 's-Gravenzande.

Courts in the District Court of Rotterdam often award Westland employees 6-12 months' wages, especially in seasonal contracts. Use CNV tools for simulations and engage local union support via the CNV office in the region. This way, you maximize your claim after unlawful dismissal. (212 words)
