The Termination Letter Due To Absenteeism is a crucial document in Philippine employment law that formalizes the end of an employment relationship based on unauthorized or excessive absences. It is used when an employee has demonstrated a pattern of unexcused absences that warrant termination under Article 297 of the Labor Code of the Philippines. The document should be issued only after prior warnings have been given and documented, and the employee has been given an opportunity to explain their side (following the twin notice rule). The letter must include specific dates of absences, reference to previous warnings, citation of violated company policies, and clear statement of termination. It also needs to address final pay computation, clearance procedures, and company property return requirements. This document is particularly important in the Philippine context where strict compliance with labor laws is essential to avoid claims of illegal dismissal.
