Document background
The Job Confirmation Letter is a crucial document in Dutch employment relations, typically issued after a successful job offer negotiation and before or at the commencement of employment. It serves as a formal written confirmation of the employment relationship and its key terms, as required by Dutch law. This document should align with the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) requirements and include all mandatory employment terms specified in Article 7:655. While less detailed than a full employment agreement, a Job Confirmation Letter must still contain all essential employment terms and conditions, including position, salary, working hours, and leave entitlements. It's commonly used for both new hires and internal promotions or transfers, providing a clear and concise summary of the employment arrangement while ensuring compliance with Dutch employment legislation.
