Frequently asked questions

I was dismissed. How long do I have to react?
As a rule, 60 days from the dismissal to challenge it in court. If you received a dismissal notice, seek advice immediately — deadlines and the correct way to respond depend on the type of dismissal.
What can I recover if the dismissal is ruled unlawful?
You may be entitled to reinstatement or compensation, plus the salaries you stopped receiving between the dismissal and the court's decision.
I had a workplace accident. Who pays?
Employers are legally required to carry workplace accident insurance. The insurer must cover treatment and compensate any incapacity. If the insurer undervalues your injuries or denies liability, the case proceeds to the labour court.
