Document background
An Early End Of Contract Letter is a crucial document used in Dutch employment relationships when both parties agree to terminate an employment contract before its intended end date. This document is essential for compliance with Dutch employment law, particularly the Dutch Civil Code and the Work and Security Act. It should be used when there is mutual agreement to end the employment relationship early, or when one party initiates the termination in accordance with contractual and legal requirements. The letter must include specific elements such as the termination date, notice period, final payment details, and arrangements for company property return. It serves as a formal record of the termination agreement and helps protect both employer and employee by clearly documenting the terms of the early contract termination.
