Document background
The Definite Employment Contract is a fundamental document used in the Netherlands when establishing fixed-term employment relationships. It is specifically designed to comply with Dutch employment law, including the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and related employment regulations. This contract type is particularly relevant when companies need to hire employees for specific projects, temporary replacements, or when they want to establish an initial working relationship before potentially converting it to an indefinite contract. The document must carefully consider the Dutch chain provision (ketenregeling), which limits the number and duration of consecutive fixed-term contracts. It contains all mandatory elements required by Article 7:655 of the Dutch Civil Code, including position details, working hours, salary, leave entitlements, and notice periods, while also addressing specific terms of the temporary employment relationship.
