Document background
The Job Appointment Letter is a crucial document in Dutch employment relationships, typically issued after successful job negotiations and before employment commences. It serves as the formal written confirmation of employment terms required under Dutch law, particularly the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek). This document should be prepared when hiring new employees or promoting existing employees to new positions, ensuring compliance with Dutch employment legislation and any applicable collective labor agreements. The letter includes essential information such as job details, compensation, working conditions, and other terms of employment. It forms the basis of the employment relationship and must be provided to the employee in accordance with Dutch legal requirements for employment documentation.
