The Notice Of Termination During Probationary Period is a crucial document used in Dutch employment relationships when either the employer or employee wishes to end the employment during the legally permitted probationary period. Under Dutch law, probationary periods are strictly regulated, with maximum durations of one month for temporary contracts of less than two years and two months for permanent contracts or temporary contracts of two years or longer. This document must be used within these timeframes and should clearly state the termination decision, effective date, and any final arrangements. The notice is particularly important as it requires no specific reason for termination and allows for immediate termination without notice period, as per Dutch Civil Code Article 7:676. However, the termination must not be discriminatory or violate any fundamental employee rights under Dutch law.
