Disclaimer and use of information

Our information will help you orientate and prepare. Here you can read which limits apply.

Text version

General explanation and your own situation

Our articles, videos, downloads and tools provide general information about Dutch employment law rules. The answer in a specific case may depend on facts that we do not know. A text on the website therefore does not replace personal advice about your case.

The platform does not take legal cases and does not monitor deadlines. Check a deadline based on your own documents and, if necessary, have it assessed by a lawyer.

Current affairs and legal assessment

Rules, policies and case law are subject to change. A check date or source reference makes the origin more transparent, but does not guarantee that every passage is still correct. During a legal assessment, it must be clear which version has been assessed.

An editorial edit, professional verification or automatic check does not automatically mean that an article has been legally approved. Please read the Editorial policies and corrections for this distinction.

Tools, AI and translations

The outcome of a tool can depend on what you enter and on the assumptions of that tool. A cost indication is not a commitment from a lawyer or a decision by the Legal Aid Board.

AI-assisted explanations and translations may contain errors. A translation of a Dutch legal rule does not change the applicable law. A translated legal text on our platform is not an official legal publication. Read more about AI usage and translations.

Referrals and Advertisements

If you link to another website, the information and agreements of that provider apply. A mention is not a guarantee for the service provided. Paid advertising space is also not a legal assessment or quality mark.

You can report questions or errors via Contact Jurismedia or Report complaints. This explanation does not take away any legal rights.
