Document background
A Letter of Termination of Contract to Employer is an essential document in Dutch employment relationships, used when an employee decides to end their employment contract. This document must be drafted in accordance with Dutch employment law, particularly considering the notice period requirements specified in the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek). The letter should contain the employee's clear intention to terminate, personal details, current position, intended last working day, and reference to the applicable notice period. It serves as official documentation of the employee's decision to terminate their employment and protects both parties by ensuring proper procedure is followed. The letter may also address practical matters such as the handover of duties and company property, making it a crucial document for proper employment termination in the Netherlands.
