In the event of an economic downturn, an employer may reorganize and dismiss employees. For this, a dismissal permit is required from the UWV, with substantiation of the business economic necessity and application of the reflection principle. In the event of more than 20 dismissals, a collective dismissal applies and a social plan is mandatory. Employees have two weeks to object to the dismissal application.
