Agreement Termination Letter

If the company announces a lay-off, often the employees are offered a separation agreement, to provide conditions for closure and to arrange the ending of the working relationship. If the employee agrees and understands that the benefits provided are reasonable, and the company cannot provide a decent salary and work in the near future, it's best not to fight the separation agreement.

We have expressed our concerns more than once, unfortunately, nothing was accomplished to resolve these issues. Under the current situation, we have no other option but to terminate the agreement and end our existing relationship. We believe this is very possible under the current terms which facilitate for either party to end the agreement in case of a breach. Please consider this letter a formal termination notice. Kindly confirm your receipt, understanding, and acceptance of this notification.

When do you use a termination letter?

• Often it is a requirement by local/state/country labor law, rules, and regulations;
• You can inform the affected employee(s) about owed compensation and benefits;
• When you believe the affected staff is ineligible for unemployment;
• In case you need a record of the termination in case of a lawsuit;
• Termination needs to be made clear to the employee;
• If you want to provide information on the employee's next steps.

If it's important that the employee further acknowledges no entitlement to any additional payment or consideration not specifically referenced in this letter, consider sending an Employment Separation Contract as well.
