Kan mijn werkgever weigeren mee te doen?

Ja, deelname is vrijwillig voor beide partijen. Je kunt je werkgever uitnodigen, maar niet dwingen. Een aantoonbare poging tot bemiddeling wordt door instanties en rechters doorgaans positief gewaardeerd.

Verlies ik rechten als ik eerst bemiddel?

Bemiddelen op zich kost je geen rechten, maar bij ontslag en vaststellingsovereenkomsten gelden wettelijke termijnen (zoals de bedenktermijn). Laat een definitieve overeenkomst daarom altijd door een jurist controleren voordat je tekent.

Is dit vertrouwelijk ten opzichte van mijn werkgever?

Het dossier is vertrouwelijk en versleuteld. Wat je met de mediator deelt, blijft binnen het dossier; alleen de gezamenlijk gemaakte afspraken komen in de overeenkomst.

Wat als we er niet uitkomen?

Dan heb je een gedocumenteerde poging tot oplossing, wat later in je voordeel kan werken. Rsolve kan je doorverwijzen naar een arbeidsrechtadvocaat, of naar Het Juridisch Loket als je inkomen onder de grens valt.

RSOLVE

Conflict with Employer

Resolve a conflict with your employer without going straight to court

A dispute with your employer feels unequal: they decide your salary, your schedule, and sometimes your future. Yet going to court is rarely the fastest or most pleasant route. It's often about unclear agreements, payment, job content, or the way you communicate. Rsolve offers a neutral place to put that on the table and work towards a solution together — before it escalates.

~10 minutes 100% neutral

Where does it often get stuck?

Employees wait too long before seeking a solution because the step feels like a big one. Meanwhile, the tension keeps building.

Disagreement over pay, overtime, holiday days, or expenses.
Uncertainty about your role, tasks, or an announced change.
The feeling of not being taken seriously, or talking past each other.
Tension that puts pressure on the working relationship and your health.

How Rsolve helps with a conflict with your employer

Rsolve gives both sides equal space. You and your employer each explain the situation; the neutral AI mediator translates positions into interests and formulates proposals that work for both of you. Because it's asynchronous and in writing, the conversation stays businesslike and emotions are less likely to run high.

A level playing field: both parties get equal space.
Businesslike and in writing, so agreements are put down in black and white.
Focused on a workable continuation or a clean ending.

Here's how it works in 4 steps

Invite the other party

You start a case and share a secure link. The other person joins for free — no account or installation needed.

Each person tells their side

Both type out what's going on, in their own words and at their own pace. The AI mediator removes the emotional charge and translates accusations into interests.

Working together towards a proposal

The mediator presents neutral, concrete proposals that both parties can respond to, until you reach an agreement you're both comfortable with.

Agreements recorded

Once you agree, Rsolve puts the agreements you've made down on paper in a settlement agreement (art. 7:900 BW) that you both sign.

What does it cost?

Rsolve works with one fixed rate of € 3,99 per case. No subscription, no hourly rate, no hidden costs. Participation is free for the invited party. By comparison: a traditional mediation process quickly costs € 1.200 – € 2.400, and a lawyer or lawsuit process often costs € 2.500 – € 7.500 or more.

Privacy and confidentiality

Everything you share stays confidential. Conversations are encrypted in transit and stored within the EU, and your case is never used to train public AI models. Once finished, you can delete the entire case with a single click. Rsolve operates in compliance with GDPR.

Important to know

Rsolve is a mediator, not a lawyer, and does not give legal advice about your legal position or about, for example, the amount of compensation.

Is it about dismissal, a settlement agreement at the end of employment, a severance payment, or long-term illness? Always have this reviewed by an employment lawyer or legal professional before you sign — deadlines and rules apply here that can affect your rights.
In case of discrimination, an unsafe workplace, or intimidation: contact a confidential advisor, the occupational health service, or the relevant authority.
A settlement agreement via Rsolve records your own agreements and is not a legal review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my employer refuse to take part?

Yes, participation is voluntary for both parties. You can invite your employer, but not force them. A demonstrable attempt at mediation is generally viewed positively by authorities and judges.

Do I lose any rights if I try mediation first?

Mediation itself doesn't cost you any rights, but statutory deadlines apply to dismissal and settlement agreements (such as the cooling-off period). Always have a final agreement checked by a legal professional before you sign.

Is this confidential from my employer?

The case is confidential and encrypted. What you share with the mediator stays within the case; only the agreements you make together go into the settlement.

What if we can't work it out?

Then you'll have a documented attempt at a solution, which can work in your favour later on. Rsolve can refer you to an employment lawyer, or to Het Juridisch Loket if your income is below the threshold.
