Document background
The Working Notice of Termination is a crucial document in South African employment law, used when an employer wishes to terminate employment while requiring the employee to continue working during their notice period. This document must align with the requirements set forth in the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997, which specify minimum notice periods based on length of service. The Working Notice of Termination includes essential information such as the termination date, reason for termination (if appropriate), notice period duration, final payment arrangements, and handover requirements. It serves as both a legal requirement and a practical tool for managing the transition period, ensuring clear communication of expectations and requirements during the notice period. The document is particularly important in South Africa's legal context, where proper documentation of employment termination is crucial for protecting both employer and employee rights.
