Notice Period Leave Disciplinary Termination Letter

 

This is a standard employment termination letter, where the employee is to be given paid leave during their notice period prior to their dismissal for disciplinary reasons in accordance with an established Grievance and Disciplinary policy. The letter allows for the reasons for dismissal to be stated.

 

The letter specifies the date of termination and that the employee is required to attend work. However, they must make themselves available to assist with answering questions or dealing with any matters which may arise regarding their workload. The letter also contains a reminder that they remain an employee during their notice period and that they may not use their notice period for any other employment.

This letter is ideally suited to the termination of senior managerial employees who have access to detailed contacts and commercial information relating to the employer.
