Summary dismissal letter for employers

Document language: Dutch. This editable Word document is supplied in Dutch and is intended for use in the Netherlands. Make sure you fully understand the document and obtain legal advice or a translation before signing or submitting it.

Dutch law imposes strict requirements on dismissal with immediate effect (ontslag op staande voet). The urgent cause must be assessed carefully and communicated without delay. This editable model helps the employer record the decision and the stated reason.

Because an invalid summary dismissal can have serious financial and legal consequences, obtain legal advice before sending the letter.
