A termination letter is a formal document used to notify an employee that their employment is ending. It typically includes the termination date, reasons for the decision, and any relevant details about the final paycheck, benefits, or return of company property. The letter outlines any obligations or procedures the employee must follow, such as exit interviews or transition tasks. It maintains a professional and respectful tone, aiming to clearly communicate the decision while adhering to legal and company policies. The letter may also provide information on support services or resources available during the transition.
