Document background
The End Of Fixed Term Notice is a crucial document in South African employment law, used when a fixed-term employment contract reaches its natural conclusion. It must comply with the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997, which govern employment relationships in South Africa. This notice should be issued with reasonable notice before the contract's end date, typically as specified in the original employment contract or as required by law. The document serves multiple purposes: it confirms the termination date, outlines final payment arrangements, addresses the return of company property, and ensures proper documentation for both employer and employee records. It's particularly important in preventing any misunderstandings about contract renewal expectations and helps maintain clear communication between parties regarding the employment relationship's conclusion.
