Collective Redundancy Severance Pay

Latvian law may offer additional protections or severance benefits due to your employment location. If you received a proposal for only 1 month of severance pay, its crucial to verify compliance with both Dutch and Latvian laws. Consider consulting a labor lawyer to review the proposal and ensure all legal requirements were met.
