Document background
The Exit Letter From Employer is a crucial document in Dutch employment relations, typically issued following a mutual agreement to terminate employment or after following proper dismissal procedures. This document is required to formally document the termination of employment and ensure compliance with Dutch employment law, including the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and the Work and Security Act (Wet Werk en Zekerheid). The letter serves multiple purposes: it confirms the termination date, outlines the notice period, details final payments including any transition payment (transitievergoeding), addresses company property return, and reminds the employee of any continuing obligations. It's an essential tool for maintaining clear records and preventing future disputes regarding the termination terms.
