What does the income module entail?
You can expand the basic legal expenses insurance with different modules.
This way you can choose the coverage and tailor the insurance to your own needs. One of the modules is work/income.
If you are unexpectedly fired and find yourself without a job, it is important that you still have an income. Your dismissal can have several reasons, such as inadequate performance according to your employer, you are long-term sick or you are dismissed due to a reorganization. Whatever the reason, you do not want to be left without an income after your dismissal. With the module legal aid 'income' you are assured of legal assistance, should this be necessary.
Legal aid labor dispute
As an employee, it may happen that you get into a conflict over your income. These can be various conflicts, such as over salary you have yet to receive. You can also get a conflict about a bonus you do not receive, but to which you are entitled. The conflict may also have to do with (the accrual of) your pension.
If you are faced with an employment dispute regarding your income, you will want to resolve it as best you can. It is not always possible to work it out with your employer. However, there are some things you can do yourself, if possible, before calling your legal assistance insurance.
- Engage with your employer to reach a solution
- Keep correspondence (emails and/or letters) from/with your employer
- State clearly if you do not understand something and ask for additional explanation or clarification
- Have your employer put a proposal in writing. Make sure you do not agree to the proposal immediately and that you have time to think about it
