Document background
The Quit Notice Letter is a crucial document in Dutch employment relationships, serving as the formal mechanism through which employees communicate their decision to end their employment. This document must align with the requirements set forth in the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), particularly regarding notice periods and formal communication standards. The letter is used when an employee decides to voluntarily terminate their employment and needs to provide official written notice to their employer. It should include the employee's details, their intention to resign, the proposed last working day (considering statutory notice periods), and any relevant handover information. The document's format and content should reflect professional standards while ensuring all legal requirements under Dutch employment law are met. The Quit Notice Letter also serves as important documentation for both parties' records and may be relevant for final settlements of employment-related matters.
