What does the 'work' module of a legal expenses insurance include?
With a legal expenses insurance you can choose the coverage yourself by selecting modules. In this way you can tailor the insurance to your own wishes. One of the modules is legal assistance 'work'. This module is also called 'income'. What exactly is insured in this module?
It may happen that you are dismissed. This may be for various reasons: you do not function well enough according to your employer, you have been ill for a long time, or you have been dismissed because of a reorganisation. When this happens, you want to solve it as good as possible. It is not always possible to come to a solution with your employer. With the legal assistance module 'employment' you are assured of legal assistance.
Should you find yourself in any of the above situations, there are a number of things you can do yourself, if possible:
- Talk to your employer to find a solution
- Keep correspondence (e-mails and/or letters) from/with your employer
- Indicate clearly if you do not understand something and ask for additional explanation or clarification
- Get your employer to write down a proposal. Make sure that you do not immediately agree to the proposal and that you are given time to think about it.
Legal aid for labour disputes
With the 'employment' module you are insured for legal assistance in the event of an employment conflict. Do you have a labour conflict with your employer? The legal assistance insurance offers help with both mediation and litigation.
Please note: you are not insured if the labour dispute arose before you took out your legal assistance insurance.
A legal assistance insurance is not obligatory, but proves to be very useful in practice. Do you work abroad? It is possible that insurers only offer coverage in the Netherlands and not throughout Europe for certain disputes. Pay close attention to this.
