The Domestic Contract Of Employment is a fundamental document required for all employment relationships in the Netherlands. It serves as the primary agreement between employers and employees, establishing the terms and conditions of employment in compliance with Dutch labor law. This contract is mandatory under Dutch legislation and must include specific information as required by the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), such as identity of parties, job position, salary, working hours, and leave entitlements. The document should be prepared before the commencement of employment and must reflect any applicable collective labor agreements (CAO) and current employment legislation. It forms the basis for the employment relationship and provides both parties with clear understanding of their rights and obligations.
