The Salary Declaration Letter (Werkgeversverklaring) is a standardized document commonly used in the Dutch employment landscape. It is typically requested when employees need to provide formal proof of their income and employment status to third parties, most commonly for mortgage applications, rental agreements, or other financial services. The document must comply with Dutch employment law requirements and typically includes detailed information about the employee's position, salary structure, employment duration, and contract type. This declaration serves as an official statement from the employer and must be signed by an authorized representative of the company. The format and content of the Salary Declaration Letter have evolved to meet the specific requirements of Dutch financial institutions and housing authorities, making it a crucial document for employees seeking to make major financial commitments in the Netherlands.
