The Termination Letter Due To Poor Performance During Probation is a crucial document used in Dutch employment contexts when an employer needs to end an employment relationship during the statutory probationary period due to unsatisfactory performance. Under Dutch law, employers can terminate employment during probation without the usual notice period requirements, provided the termination is not discriminatory and is based on reasonable grounds. This document must clearly state the termination decision, specify performance issues, and include practical arrangements for the employment's end. It should comply with the Dutch Civil Code and the Work and Security Act while maintaining professionalism and clarity. The letter serves both as a formal notification and a legal record of the termination decision.
