Career Damage Due To Summary Dismissal
In summary dismissal cases it is, to prevent career damage, essential to agree upon a well-considered regulation which includes secrecy as well as a conversion of the summary dismissal to a termination by mutual consent on neutral grounds.

LEIDEN, THE NETHERLANDS, January 20, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- De Graauw Legal Services (www.degraauw.com/LegalServices/Ontslagopstaandevoet.htm) specializes in assisting employees who are confronted with summary dismissal and are subject to Dutch law. Most clients focus on the direct financial damage such a dismissal can cause through loss of unemployment benefit, salary and severance pay. However another very important aspect in these cases that is too often neglected is formed by possible career damage.

Founder and managing director Roland de Graauw LL.M: "When no regulation concerning secrecy and statements to third parties is agreed upon, such a dismissal can pursue the client in the future." This is especially the case when the client worked a long time for the company involved as under these circumstances chances increase that the former employer will be contacted in a selection procedure by a possible future employer. When the former employer, that fired the client on the spot due to culpable actions, informs the inquirer, the client can forget about the new job. Also, lying about a summary dismissal can according to jurisprudence be a ground for dismissal for the new employer. Therefore it is essential to agree upon a well-considered regulation which includes secrecy as well as a conversion of the summary dismissal to a termination by mutual consent on neutral grounds.
