The Resignation Settlement Agreement (vaststellingsovereenkomst) is a crucial document in Dutch employment law used when an employer and employee mutually agree to end their employment relationship. It serves as a comprehensive record of all termination arrangements and protects both parties' interests by clearly defining their rights and obligations. This document is typically used in situations where both parties prefer to avoid the standard dismissal procedure through the UWV (Dutch Employee Insurance Agency) or court and instead opt for a mutually agreed termination. The agreement must comply with Dutch employment law requirements, including the mandatory 14-day reflection period for the employee. It covers essential elements such as termination date, financial settlements, treatment of benefits, confidentiality provisions, and any post-employment restrictions. This type of agreement is particularly valuable in ensuring a clear and amicable separation while preventing future disputes by providing a full and final settlement of all claims.
