Claiming transitievergoeding alongside WW benefit in Delft
In Delft, with its thriving tech and education sector at TU Delft, you are entitled to a transitievergoeding as compensation upon dismissal. This article discusses calculation, application via UWV and interaction with WW entitlement, specifically for Delft residents.
Calculation of transitievergoeding
Standard 1/3 monthly salary per year of service, accrued from day 1. Maximum €97,000 (2025) or your annual salary. Pro rata for shorter employment, relevant for flex workers in Delft startups.
