Document background
The Hospitality Employment Contract serves as a standardized agreement between hospitality employers and employees in the Netherlands, ensuring compliance with Dutch employment law and the Horeca CAO. This document is essential for establishing clear employment terms in hotels, restaurants, cafes, and other hospitality establishments. It should be used when hiring any permanent or fixed-term staff in the hospitality sector, covering both front-of-house and back-of-house positions. The contract addresses crucial aspects such as working hours, shift patterns, service standards, and industry-specific requirements while incorporating mandatory elements of Dutch employment legislation. It's particularly important for roles involving irregular hours, weekend work, and customer service responsibilities, providing clear terms for both employer and employee while ensuring legal compliance.
