Your team are a crucial component of keeping the wheels turning. And yet, from time to time, a working relationship needs to come to an end. Whether that’s as a result of redundancy, or poor performance, it’s important you handle the situation with crystal clear clarity. This is where a Termination of Employment Letter comes into light.
Examples of when an employment termination letter is needed
Redundancy
Businesses big and small face the challenges that come with scaling. And, from time to time, it may result in needing to make members of staff redundant. If an employee's role is made redundant then you will need to communicate this to them via a termination letter which will provide written confirmation of redundancy.
Misconduct
Employee misconduct can be phenomenally disruptive, not just to the business, but to the employees that work alongside the guilty party. Furthermore, employee misconduct can put the business at legal risk, which is why it’s crucial a process is followed to resolve it. If misconduct can’t be resolved, and the decision is made to terminate the employment relationship, you’ll need an employee termination letter to confirm this to the employee in writing.
Poor performance
It takes a lot to keep the wheels turning, and, not everyone is up to the job. If your business is slumping as a result of poor performance - that can’t be managed or improved - you may need to terminate the employment of under performing employees. I this scenario you will need to use an employee termination letter to confirm this in writing.
