Document background
The Job Offer Cancellation Letter is a critical document used when an organization needs to withdraw an employment offer before the candidate has commenced employment. Under Dutch law, while employers have the right to withdraw job offers, this must be done with careful consideration of legal obligations and potential liabilities. This document becomes necessary in various situations such as business restructuring, budget changes, or discovery of material information that affects the hiring decision. The letter must balance legal compliance with professional courtesy, typically including the cancellation decision, reasoning, and any applicable compensation or next steps. It's essential to ensure the cancellation process adheres to Dutch employment law principles, particularly regarding good faith in pre-contractual relationships and equal treatment regulations.
