Document background
The Confirmation Letter Job Offer is a crucial document in the Dutch employment process, serving as a formal written offer of employment and meeting the legal requirements for documenting employment terms under Dutch law. It is typically used after verbal agreement on key terms and before the signing of a full employment contract. The document must comply with the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and the EU Written Statement of Employment Conditions Directive, requiring specific information about the employment relationship to be provided in writing. This letter bridges the gap between recruitment and formal employment, providing clarity on terms while meeting legal obligations for both parties. It's particularly important in the Netherlands where employment law strongly emphasizes written documentation of employment terms.
