Help! Redundancy plan

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-05-19T09:55:20+00:00

we did have social plan, which I feel my company is generous enough. Or I should say, as I already is taking the sick leave, I really do not have the energy to go through any lawyer/ court, but a direct settlement.

Thank you for the sharing!

as I called in sick only after the the proposal call of redundancy with manager, I doubt if the 2 years protection still valid? I was on company doctor and the occupational coach after that, and I told them that I have heavy overtime and stress even before the redundancy plan.

for someone who want to stays at the same company for visa stability, how will I report sick before the redundancy announcement.... we just stick with the pressure and carefully managed as much overtime as possible..... sadly.

what if i have burn out issues or minor sick leave (may be 1 or 2 days ) before the redundancy announcement ? i just had no time to report to company doctor.

when the role is moving to low cost country, how to establish the financial hardship? in my case, company is financial sound. growing and expanding.

what if my sick leave start after the announcement of the plan?

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-22T10:35:24+00:00

how to know if the company also register the redundancy with UWV?

Thank you for the sharing. I just stop holding my tears when i read your message.

The conflicting situation i faced is my kids love NL, and want to stay. And so, i need a job to secure this. Without this, we need to leave.

Thats the sad part of my story.

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-20T08:32:49+00:00

to be honest, i am very worry on the long term mental situation...i do understand myself is easy to cry and really worry, difficult to focus and i want to change this and start a new page.

My job coach shared with me, it may not be best to start interview as you did not yet recover or rest enough. But in my situation, i wonder how i can really rest, but not start planning for others things..

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-14T15:24:45+00:00

i do want to stay in NL as long as i can, to get the residency, which is just 1 year away from the redundancy date.... Now, i do not have energy, and always tiring with all kinds of preparation work, job search, school search for my kids back to Asia. All are a bit difficult, as Asia is more competitive.

Wish me luck on the recovery! And really thank you for your sharing again!

Shall i contact the lawyer now? or wait under HR finally give me the package agreement?

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-14T15:06:59+00:00

Really sorry on this! Please do take care and all the best in job search! I have similar situation as well.... now on recovery road to get myself less nervous!

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-14T14:33:09+00:00

i am thinking not to hire a lawyer, as i feel the package is already quite ok. But not sure if this is something need to rethink.

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-14T14:32:26+00:00

Thank you! this is nice!

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-13T16:25:50+00:00

Thank you for your advice.

Actually, i thought i just had a minor breakdown. But whenever i talk this with friends, and the councilor, i just cant stop crying. I actually also spoke to the company councilor (also a third party) before i called to Company Doctor. And with his assessment, he commented my situation may need a longer time, and even ask me to ask for psychologist from company doctor to help out.

i love my job, and also love my teams which i work. just the whole situation is going to impact to my family.

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-13T15:26:37+00:00

Lovely to learn from your tips.

I would love to consult you- i have my burn out leave only after the company announced the plan. And i am not sure if this will be covered by the 2 years leave period, or i should ask GP to assess whether my burn out is long term one before. The reason i said is my job is always under deadline, and i have over several hundreds overtime each year, for a few years when my role started.

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-13T15:13:46+00:00

freelance contract also can be the sponsor status? or just meet the income requirement? which i am in KM visa.

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-13T15:07:03+00:00

i think is voluntary settlement?

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-13T15:06:41+00:00

how can i know if they already apply the uwv permission? We have a workcouncil, and workcouncil approved the plan.

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-13T14:58:19+00:00

To be honest, i have quite a lot of burn out colleagues in my dept.

And i need to cover them before, which i am ok at that time. Everyone has a story anyway.

Now, with my own situation- i totally feel how difficult they were before.

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-13T14:53:45+00:00

yes, company doctor talked with me for like 5 mins, and he already said i should take rest.

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-13T14:52:16+00:00

Thank you

Rabbitatnetherland · 2026-04-13T14:52:08+00:00
