Document background
The Job Approval Letter is a crucial document in the Dutch employment process, typically issued after successful job negotiations but before the formal employment contract. It serves multiple purposes: confirming the verbal job offer, documenting the basic terms of employment as required by Dutch law, and providing a foundation for the subsequent employment relationship. This document must comply with Dutch employment legislation, particularly Article 7:655 of the Dutch Civil Code, which requires employers to provide written information about specific employment terms. The letter is used across all sectors and employment levels, from entry-level positions to senior management roles, and can be adapted to include various terms and conditions specific to the role while maintaining compliance with Dutch employment regulations.
