Document background
The Termination Due To Lack Of Work document is a crucial template for Dutch employers facing the need to reduce their workforce due to business economic reasons. This document type is specifically designed to comply with strict Dutch employment law requirements, including mandatory UWV approval for redundancy situations. It should be used when an employer has obtained necessary permissions and needs to formally communicate the termination to affected employees. The document incorporates essential elements such as business justification, notice periods, transition payments (transitievergoeding), and final settlement terms. It's particularly important in the Netherlands where employment protection is strong and proper documentation is crucial for legal compliance. The template ensures all statutory requirements are met while maintaining professional communication with the affected employee.
