The \u201ch\u201d ground applies when \u201cother circumstances\u201d are at issue that do not fall under any of the other exhaustively listed grounds for termination. Classic examples include incarceration, illegal status, failure to obtain a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) where required, and, for example, a difference of opinion between the employer and the employee. A \u201cdifference of opinion\u201d is also the standard ground in a declaration of termination or termination agreement. As with ground \u201cg,\u201d the situation at work must, in this case as well, be such that continuation of the employment relationship cannot reasonably be expected. The employer will therefore use this ground, for example, in the case of an employee who must serve a 2.5-year prison sentence, or in the case of the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office, a bank, a hospital, or a daycare center when the Certificate of Good Conduct required for such positions cannot be provided.     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-6876","definitie","type-definitie","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arbeidsadvocaat.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/definitie\/6876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arbeidsadvocaat.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/definitie"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arbeidsadvocaat.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/definitie"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/arbeidsadvocaat.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/definitie\/6876\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arbeidsadvocaat.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
