Document background
A Character Reference Letter From Employer is a crucial document in professional settings within the Netherlands, typically requested when an employee is seeking new employment, educational opportunities, or other professional advancement. The letter must comply with Dutch employment law, privacy regulations (GDPR), and anti-discrimination legislation. It should provide an honest, objective assessment of the employee's character, work performance, and professional conduct during their employment period. The document typically includes information about the duration of employment, roles held, key responsibilities, notable achievements, and character traits demonstrated in the workplace. While maintaining professionalism, the letter should avoid any potentially discriminatory statements and respect the employee's privacy rights under Dutch law.
