Document background
The Project Based Employment Contract is specifically designed for use in the Netherlands when engaging employees for defined project work. This contract type is particularly suitable when an organization needs to hire staff for specific projects with clear deliverables and timeframes. It differs from standard employment contracts by incorporating detailed project specifications while ensuring compliance with Dutch employment law, including the Dutch Civil Code and the Work and Security Act. The document includes comprehensive provisions for project scope, duration, performance metrics, and completion criteria, along with standard employment terms required under Dutch law. This contract type is commonly used in sectors such as IT, construction, and consulting, where project-based work is prevalent. It provides both employer and employee with clear guidelines while maintaining the protections and benefits required under Dutch employment legislation.
