Clarity and calm in your sick leave case
I help you get clarity on your Dutch sick leave case, so you know what to do next.
All in line with the law, UWV, your employer, and your own recovery.
Is this you?
You don’t need to figure this out alone.
If your case feels unclear, that’s usually the moment to get clarity.
You’re in the right place if you:
- Want someone to look at your situation and give clear, practical advice that you can actually use immediately;
- Are an (expat) employee working in the Netherlands;
- Are a highly skilled migrant and unsure how sick leave affects your position, 30% tax ruling or residence;
- Feel confused about the sick leave process or what’s expected of you;
- Don’t fully understand your rights or what your employer can (and can’t) ask;
- Are dealing with a complex or unclear situation and want to know what to do next;
- Need support in preparing conversations with your employer, company doctor, or UWV

About
I started out advising (international) companies.
But at some point I realised: the people actually going through sick leave often had no idea what their rights were and were lying awake at night wondering what to do next.
So I decided to switch sides a little.
The Case Clarity is there to bring calm, structure, and clear next steps when things feel unclear.
Reviews
A.Z, HR ADVISOR (Amsterdam)
During my initial consultation, Kirsten provided me right away clear and comprehensive explanations on several important aspects that I had previously been unaware of.
Thank you so much for all your help Kirsten

I was having a really difficult time talking to my manager. Neither of us fully understood the process or what was supposed to happen next.
After speaking with Kirsten, things became much clearer. She helped me understand my position and what my options were, without making it complicated.

I’ve worked in international organisations where sick leave cases are often complex, sensitive, and not always straightforward.
That experience shapes how I work today:
clear, practical, and focused on what actually needs to happen next.
