"This book gives employers a clear understanding of Dutch employment law, with practical and legal information on the hiring and firing of employees, terms and conditions of employment, workplace issues, and the rights of works councils. It offers practical guidance to in-house counsel and lawyers who deal with Dutch labour law and codetermination issues, and also serves to facilitate communication between foreign business persons and their Dutch counsel." "This is a handbook for Dutch employers, in-house counsel, and employment and labour lawyers representing foreign companies with business interests in the Netherlands." --Book Jacket.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on the Netherlands not only describes and analyses the legal aspects of labour relations, but also examines labour relations practices and developing trends. It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting Both individual and collective labour relations are covered in ample detail, with attention to such underlying and pervasive factors as employment contracts, suspension of the contracts, dismissal laws and covenant of non-competition, as well as international private law. The author describes all important details of the law governing hours and wages, benefits, intellectual property implications, trade union activity, employers’ associations, workers’ participation, collective bargaining, industrial disputes, and much more. Building on a clear overview of labour law and labour relations, the book offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. It will find a ready readership among lawyers representing parties with interests in the Netherlands, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative trends in laws affecting labour and labour relations.

Again a booklet with concise and up-to-date legal information, this time dedicated to Dutch labor law. In only 80 pages the readers are provided with a workable overview of the most relevant characteristics and regulations in this area of law in the Netherlands. Like the previous volume in the series Labor Law in the Netherlands has been written with the information needs of foreign businessmen in mind who are confronted with Dutch regulations governing conditions at work, the status of unions, salaries, etc. Irrelevant details or academic discussions on the matter have been purposely left out in order to create another practical and informative booklet on Dutch law for foreign businessmen and their legal advisers in the Netherlands. In 13 short chapters the entire area is covered dealing with foreign nationals, recruitment, employment agreements, employee participation, wages and labor conditions, termination of employment, mass layoff, strikes, social insurances, tax aspects, wage witholding tax, and redundancy packages.
