More and more attorneys are recruiting clients through "lead generators." The Bar Association has announced an offensive against this way of working. There will be a "repentance" scheme for lawyers who disclose. The Order's approach leads to questions of principle about how lead generators work, a young industry in which a lot of money is involved.
The statutory scheme assumes that the employee is entitled to the "wage guarantee scheme" if the employer has an inability to pay. In a bankruptcy declared at the request of the employees, this is automatically the case. Very occasionally, there is also an inability to pay without bankruptcy. For example, in the case of a foreign-based company or in the absence of support claims. But in any case, the UWV wants the employees to take action to collect their salary claim. This will almost always have to be done through a lawyer. Only a lawyer has the legal powers necessary to bring the case to a successful conclusion without loss of time.
The dismissal law would become simpler. Therefore, the petition procedure would become the rule in dismissal cases. But in labor law, many cases still remain that begin with a subpoena.
Until 1 July 2015, no appeal can be lodged against dismissal decisions. That will be different. Employees who have been dismissed can already receive unemployment benefits and can also collect the severance pay. Their employers run the risk that the higher court will reverse their dismissal.
