Seminar at EYE

Robbert-Jan Bree began by discussing the WTTA and its implications for hirers and lenders effective January 1, 2027. The new law introduces far-reaching obligations, audits, and risks for which organizations must prepare well in advance.

Ilse Zaal then led a session on employment termination law, drawing on high-profile court cases. Can an employee participate in a Hyrox competition while on sick leave without facing consequences under labor law? When is termination justified, and when is it not? She also addressed strained labor relations, mediation, and key considerations for employers.

As usual, Prof. Ruben Houweling wrapped up the seminar in his characteristic energetic style with an overview of the most important current developments in labor law. From the Act on Greater Security for Flexible Workers to new rules for the self-employed and non-compete clauses: employers will face many changes in the coming years.
