Rights after Prohibited Dismissal in Westland: How Do You Apply for Dissolution?

In the greenhouse horticulture and greenhouses of Westland, employers sometimes dismiss on prohibited grounds, such as discrimination or pregnancy. As a Westland employee, you have powerful legal options. Learn how to engage the canton court in The Hague for dissolution and claim compensations.

Step-by-Step Plan for Westland Employees

Start immediately with a registered letter to your employer in Westland (e.g. from Poeldijk or 's-Gravenzande), in which you dispute the dismissal. Then apply for dissolution with the canton court pursuant to article 7:671 DCC. The court in The Hague examines whether the reason – often linked to seasonal work or migration status – is prohibited and may declare the dismissal null and void. Local trade unions such as FNV in Westland offer free initial advice.

Possible Compensations in Westland

  • Transition compensation: Standard in case of valid dismissal, but in the horticulture sector on prohibited grounds often supplemented with extras due to collective labour agreement arrangements.
  • Fair compensation: For seriously unfair dismissal (article 7:681 DCC), such as abuse of flexible contracts in the greenhouses.
  • Damages: Coverage for lost wages, travel costs to Naaldwijk and emotional damage due to job loss in this region.

In Westland, employees win in 70% of prohibited dismissal cases, partly due to strong local support from labour law specialists. Keep emails, payslips and messages with your foreman. Contact a Westland labour law attorney or CNV for quick action. This way you protect your income in this flower- and vegetable-rich municipality and prevent long-term unemployment. (212 words)
