Document background
The Employee Suspension Letter is a crucial document in Dutch employment practice used when an employer needs to temporarily remove an employee from their workplace duties while maintaining the employment relationship. This measure is typically implemented in situations requiring investigation of workplace incidents, serious misconduct allegations, or when continued presence of the employee could disrupt operations or pose risks. The document must comply with Dutch employment law, particularly the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and relevant collective labor agreements. It should clearly state the suspension grounds, duration, financial implications, and procedural requirements. The letter serves both as formal notification and legal documentation, protecting both employer and employee interests while ensuring procedural fairness and compliance with Dutch employment regulations.
