Only a few
problems cause an employer more worry, inconvenience and financial loss than an
employee’s incapacity. Legislation in this area is particularly complex because
the employment protection of workers, the levying of employee insurance contributions
from the employer, and the employees’ pension rights sometimes affect each
other in inunexpected ways. Meanwhile, the financial interests of both
employers and employees are very high.
The lawyers of Kantoor
Mr.van Zijl (Tilburg) are specialized in advising and guidance of employers not
only in the field of employment law, but also in the field of employee
insurances. This has made them, like no other, capable to advise employers at a
very high level in cases where employee incapacity plays a role.
During these advising
activities, Kantoor Mr. van Zijl’s lawyers experience repeatedly that the costs
of incapacitated employees rise further than is necessary. During illness, more
wage is paid than necessary. The Employee Insurance Agency (UWV) imposes wage
penalties. Benefits that could be deducted from the wages paid during the illness
are not applied for. And Partial Work disability (WGA)-benefits are wrongly granted
or continue too long.
Usually things
can no longer be prevented afterwards. When the lawyers of Kantoor Mr. van Zijl are involved, it is
often too late. Prevention, however, is definitely possible. In the belief that
things can and therefore should be better, Mr.J.P.M.(Joop) van Zijl why Van
Zijl established "Van Zijl Case
Management BV”.
From 1 April
2013, employers can have themselves advised and guided by casemanagers of Van
Zijl Case Management BV. From the first day of incapacity for work (and even
before) these case managers monitor at all relevant moments if all necessary actions
are taken needed to get maximum reduction of the costs of incapacitated employees.
The case managers of Van Zijl Case Management thereby act independently of the
company doctor or the Occupational Health and Safety Centre.
The case
managers were specially trained for this purpose and work in close cooperation with
the lawyers of Kantoor Mr.van Zijl. Thus, they have the specific expertise that
even large employers often lack to have the interests of these employers optimally
defended.
Thus, Van Zijl
Case management offers an absolutely unique way of case management: professional
and independent. With maximum focus on cost reduction for the employer, but
with respect for the employee’s privacy. Occasionally or structurally
deployable. Executing or just supportive. Supported by lawyers.
