Labour law relates to the legal aspects of the relationship between an employee and an employer. Such aspects are often stipulated in an employment contract. However, Dutch labour law provides also compulsory rules which cannot be altered by agreement between an employer and an employee. Dutch Labour law is dynamic and conflicts between employees and an employers have resulted in extensive jurisprudence. Therefore, it is recommended to involve a legal expert in negotiations of an employment contract or in an employment conflict so that the necessary legal advice can be obtained.

With the introduction of the WNRA in 2020, many civil servants have become subject to labour law. However, there are still employees with civil servant status (for example, in the police and the Ministry of Defense). Although the civil service law is similar to the labour law, it is a separate jurisdiction. Many civil service cases deal with integrity issues. The civil service law has its own way of litigating and advising. Thus, civil servant cases are first and foremost dealt with by a complaints commission before they go to court, sector administrative law. The magistrate/lower court judge does not pronounce sentence in civil servant cases.
