Transition Payment upon Termination of Employment Contract in Delft: Calculation and Conditions

Since 2013, dismissed employees in Delft are entitled to a transition payment (art. 7:673 DCC), a compensation for dismissal after two years of service. This applies upon notice, dissolution or non-extension of a fixed-term contract, except in cases of culpable conduct. In the high-tech and education hub of Delft, with employers such as TU Delft and many startups, this is crucial for jobs in innovation and technology.

Calculation Method

  • 1/3 monthly salary per year of service.
  • Pro rata for partial year.
  • Including holiday allowance and fixed supplements.
    Maximum €89,000 (2024) or annual salary.

Use the UWV tool for precise calculation, ideal for residents of Delft in sectors such as engineering at companies around the Technopolis.

Conditions for Entitlement

  • Minimum two years of service.
  • Initiative of the employer (except settlement agreement).
  • No entitlement in case of bankruptcy (unemployment benefit compensates).

In Delft, where the sub-district court holds sessions at the Turfmarkt, claims are handled efficiently.

Exceptions and Appeal

For small employers (<25 employees), the sub-district court procedure applies from 2020. The employee may file a claim within six months after termination. Local advisors at FNV Delft or the Legal Aid Office provide free assistance.

Practical Steps for Residents of Delft

Calculate via UWV tool. Negotiate in the settlement agreement for a higher fair compensation (art. 7:681 DCC), especially for TU Delft projects or Philips research.

Employers in Delft: reserve budget for transition. Employees: claim in time with the sub-district court in Delft. Does not accumulate with other compensations, but does with unemployment benefit. Seek help from local trade unions for Delft-specific cases. (248 words)
