A Formal Termination Letter is a document used by employers to formally notify a current employee of the cessation of their employment. The letter should include details such as the reason for termination, confirmation of any relevant policies and processes that were followed, date of final payment and any relevant holiday entitlement. It should also be written in a respectful tone, avoiding blame or other negative language. A Formal Termination Letter is an important step for both the employer and employee and can help ensure the end of an employement relationship is properly managed.
