Artikel 6.1 Legal Status (Local Employees) Regulations 2020

Article 6.1 Good conduct as an employee and oath or affirmation 1 Employees are obliged to perform the duties arising from their employment contract conscientiously and diligently and to conduct themselves in a manner befitting a good employee. Employees must at all times be conscious of the fact that they work at a representation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands abroad. 2 As soon as possible after employment starts, an official designated by the employer for that purpose administers to the employee the following oath or affirmation: I swear/promise allegiance to the King, the Constitution and the other laws of the State. I swear/affirm that I made no gift or promise to anyone in order to obtain my position, nor will I make any gift or promise to that end. I swear/affirm that I will accept no gift or promise from anyone in order to do or to omit to do anything in the course of my duties, and that I will conduct myself as befits a good employee, that I will carry out the instructions given to me and that I will not reveal matters which come to my knowledge in the course of my duties and which I know or should know are secret or confidential in nature to anyone other than persons to whom I am obliged to communicate them by law or by virtue of my official duties. So help me God Almighty! or This I affirm and promise. 3 If the employee does not have Dutch nationality, the first sentence of the oath or affirmation is omitted. 4 An employee swears the oath or makes the affirmation only if this is necessary, in the opinion of the employer, in view of the job to be performed.
