Document background
A Staff Termination Letter serves as the official written confirmation of employment termination under English and Welsh law. This document is essential when ending any employment relationship, whether through redundancy, performance issues, or mutual agreement. It must be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with UK employment legislation, including statutory notice periods, final payment calculations, and protection against unfair dismissal. The letter should clearly state the termination date, reason (if appropriate), and any post-employment obligations. It forms part of the employee's permanent record and may be crucial in preventing or defending against potential employment tribunal claims.
