Document background
The Employee Notice of Resignation is a crucial document in Dutch employment relations, required when an employee decides to voluntarily terminate their employment contract. This document must comply with Dutch labor law, particularly the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) Article 7:672 regarding notice periods, and any applicable Collective Labor Agreement (CAO) provisions. The notice should be used when an employee has made the decision to end their employment and needs to formally communicate this to their employer. It typically includes the resignation date, notice period calculation, last working day, and basic transition arrangements. The document serves as official documentation of the employee's intention to leave and helps ensure a smooth, legally compliant transition process. It's particularly important in the Netherlands where employment relationships are highly regulated and proper documentation is essential for both legal compliance and administrative purposes.
