DOES DORMANT EMPLOYMENT LEAD TO BAD EMPLOYMENT?

A person who enters the sickness law after a work accident can simply end up in "dormant employment" after two years. Then the employer does not have to pay any transition compensation. Is that allowed? Cor van der Linden has been in such dormant employment for years. He suffered an industrial accident in 2015. For the first two years he was paid 100% of his salary through the sickness law. After two years, Cor would theoretically have to be laid off, as the accident had left him 100% disabled and thus unable to perform his job. Since Cor had worked for the company since 1999, he was therefore entitled to a hefty transition allowance. For each year worked, Cor should receive one month's salary.

You'll hear how this ends further in the broadcast.
