Introduction

More and more companies are fully or partly established in the Netherlands. At the same time, there has been a sharp increase in the number of expats moving to the Netherlands and working for a Dutch employer. These employment relationships are governed by Dutch law.

Dutch employment law is complex and in some ways unique. This white paper provides an overview and the key points of attention and practical tools. For clarity, the white paper is divided into three sections:

  1. entering into the employment contract;
  2. possible events during the term of the employment contract; and
  3. termination of the employment contract.

The white paper expressly provides an overview and does not intend to provide a complete representation of Dutch employment law or cover the topics exhaustively.
