Specialized legal guidance when illness and work come together. Exclusively for employees, with full focus on this specialism.
Providing legal guidance to employees in illness-related employment matters.
When illness and work come together, a complex and stressful situation often arises. Pressure from the employer to reintegrate quickly, dispute with the company doctor about your capacity, uncertainty about your legal position and the fear of losing your job or income. All this while you're also dealing with health issues.
MediRights was founded to support employees in this situation. Not with non-committal advice or general information, but with concrete legal guidance. We analyze your case, determine your position and help you achieve the best outcome.
We believe every employee has the right to clarity about their legal position and professional support in protecting their interests. Regardless of the size of the employer or the complexity of the situation.
Employees who are ill already have enough on their plate. The stress of a conflict with the employer or uncertainty about income doesn't help recovery.
We take that legal burden off your hands. So you can focus on what really matters: your health and recovery. Or, if that's not possible, a dignified and fair conclusion of your employment.
That's what MediRights stands for. Nothing more, nothing less.
MediRights is fully specialized in the combination of illness and employment law. This is not a side activity or one of the many areas of law we handle. It is our core expertise and our only focus area.
Only illness and work. No divorces, traffic accidents or other areas of law. One hundred percent focus on what we do best and where our expertise lies.
In-depth knowledge of the Dutch Gatekeeper Improvement Act, reintegration obligations, continued salary payment during illness and all related regulations.
Through our specialization, we recognize patterns that others miss. We know how employers operate, what tactics they use and how to respond effectively.
We don't work with general questions or non-committal advice. MediRights is for employees with a concrete case who seek legal guidance. A situation where something is happening, where decisions need to be made and where action is needed.
Clear agreements about costs, expectations and approach. You know in advance where you stand. No surprises, no hidden costs, no vague promises. Honest about what we can and cannot achieve.
We focus on concrete outcomes, not billing hours. Our goal is a good result for you, not maximizing our revenue. That sometimes means honestly saying when legal action is not the best option.
Short lines and quick response. You have direct contact with your advisor, not with a call center, secretary or changing contacts. A fixed point of contact who knows your case and is available when you need them.
We work exclusively for employees, never for employers. That means your interest is always central. No conflicts of interest, no hidden agendas. We are on your side, unconditionally.
We treat you as an adult who can make their own decisions. We advise based on our expertise, but the choices are yours. You keep control of your own process and your own life.
To avoid misunderstandings, it's good to be clear about what MediRights is not. This way you know exactly what you can expect from us.
We don't answer general questions about employment law. There are other sources for that, like legal aid desks. MediRights is for concrete cases with active guidance.
We don't offer membership, collective advocacy or union activities. We do offer individual legal guidance for employees with a specific situation.
We don't provide medical advice, conduct assessments or act as company doctor. We do provide guidance in disputes with occupational health services and company doctors.
We don't litigate in court. For most illness-related employment matters, litigation is not necessary. If it is needed, we refer to a litigation attorney.
We have guided hundreds of employees in illness-related employment matters. From simple settlement reviews to complex long-term processes. That experience benefits you.
We know how employers, HR departments and occupational health services operate. What arguments they use, what tactics they apply and how we can respond effectively.
We tell you the truth, even when it's not pleasant. If your position is weak, we say so. If legal action is not meaningful, we say that too. No false promises.
We don't treat you as a case number. Your situation gets the attention it deserves. We understand that behind every case is a person with worries and uncertainties.
Our specialization makes us efficient. This allows us to deliver quality at competitive rates. You pay for expertise, not for learning time or general overhead.
We understand your situation can be urgent. That's why we're flexible in our availability. In urgent situations, we handle your case with priority.
The name MediRights is a combination of 'Medical' and 'Rights'. It refers to the core of what we do: protecting the legal position of employees when medical circumstances - illness - play a role in the employment relationship.
Illness and work form a unique combination within employment law. A combination that requires specific knowledge of both legal and medical-practical aspects. That combination is what MediRights stands for.
