What does the work module include in a legal expenses insurance policy?
With legal expenses insurance, you can choose your own coverage by choosing modules. This way you can tailor the insurance to your own needs. One of the modules is legal assistance 'work'. This module is also called 'income'. What exactly is insured with this module?
It may happen that you are fired. This could be for a variety of reasons: you are not performing adequately according to your employer, you are on long-term sick leave, or you are being laid off due to a reorganization. When this happens, you want to resolve it as best you can. It is not always possible to work it out with your employer. With the legal assistance module 'work' you are assured of legal assistance.
Should you find yourself in any of the above situations, there are a number of things you can do yourself, if possible:
- 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
Legal aid labor dispute
With the 'work' module, you are assured of legal assistance in the event of an employment conflict. Do you have a labor conflict with your employer? Both for mediation and litigation, the legal assistance insurance offers help.
Please note that you are not insured if the labor dispute had already arisen before you took out your legal expenses insurance.
Legal expenses insurance is not mandatory, but it proves to be very useful in practice. Do you work abroad? For certain disputes, insurers may only offer coverage in the Netherlands and not throughout Europe. Pay close attention to this.
