Document background
The Voluntary Termination Letter is a crucial document used in Dutch employment contexts when an employee decides to end their employment relationship of their own accord. It serves as formal written notice and must comply with Dutch labor law requirements, particularly those outlined in the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek). The letter should be used when an employee wishes to resign from their position and needs to formally communicate this decision to their employer. It typically includes the termination date, notice period observation, arrangements for outstanding matters such as vacation days and company property, and may reference any post-employment obligations. The document is essential for proper employment termination documentation and can be important for both immediate administrative purposes and future reference.
