Document background
The Request Letter For Bonus After Resignation is a crucial document used in the Dutch employment context when a former employee seeks to claim a bonus payment following their departure from the company. This document becomes necessary when bonus payments are due or potentially due after the employment relationship has ended, particularly in cases involving annual bonuses, performance-based incentives, or deferred compensation. The letter should be drafted in accordance with Dutch employment law, specifically considering provisions in the Burgerlijk Wetboek regarding employment benefits and good employment practices. It typically includes details about the employment period, bonus arrangement, calculation method, and supporting evidence. This document is particularly relevant in the Netherlands' business environment, where bonus structures are common in employment packages and subject to specific legal protections.
