Document background
The Termination Addendum is essential for properly documenting the end of an employment relationship under Irish law. It is typically used when an employer and employee have agreed to terminate an existing employment contract, or when termination is necessary due to redundancy, performance issues, or other legitimate business reasons. The document must carefully consider Irish employment legislation, including notice periods, statutory entitlements, and procedural requirements. The addendum serves to protect both parties by clearly documenting the termination terms, final payments, surviving obligations, and mutual releases. It should be customized based on the specific circumstances of the termination while ensuring compliance with Irish employment law requirements and any relevant industry-specific regulations.
