Sample contract termination letter
There are a number of reasons why an
employer may find a sample contract
termination letter useful, including
misconduct or redundancy. With the various
legal implications involved in effectively
ending a contract, it is vital a contract
termination letter is accurate and does not
leave the employer open to legal action. Here
we provide a sample contract termination
letter that will provide the main elements
you need to include, though it must be
noted that as this is a sample contract
termination letter only, organizations will
need to adapt it to suit their own
requirements.
A sample contract termination letter
Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms ...
Further to our conversation / meeting etc...
on (date) I regret to inform you that your
employment with us is terminated as of
(date).
As stated previously, the reasons for the
termination of your employment are:
State the reasons (and how they
contradict company policies and / or the
employees contract)
State previous warnings (verbal / written
etc...).
(State requirements necessary preceding
termination, such as return of company
property, issues with pay etc...).
Yours etc ...
Name and title
(You may also add a section requiring the
employee to sign and return a copy as a
receipt).
As we have mentioned, this is a sample
contract termination letter, and should the
termination be due to redundancy, the tone
and information might be quite different. In
such cases, it should be stated clearly the
termination of the contract is directly related
to external forces and in no way reflects on
the performance of the particular employee
(which might have been excellent). A
contract termination letter is often written
under stressful circumstances, so it is critical
you get it right to avoid unnecessary
anguish or legal problems at a later stage.
