Document background
The Termination of Contract Letter to Employer is a crucial document in Dutch employment relations, required when an employee decides to end their employment relationship. This formal communication must comply with Dutch employment law, particularly the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and the Work and Security Act (Wet Werk en Zekerheid). The letter serves as official documentation of the employee's intention to terminate their contract, specifying the notice period and last working day. It typically includes essential information such as personal details, position, department, and may also address handover arrangements and outstanding matters. The document is particularly important in the Netherlands, where employment termination is highly regulated and proper documentation is required for legal compliance and administrative purposes.
