Document background
The Early Termination Notice is a crucial document in Belgian employment law, used when an employer initiates the termination of an employment contract. It must comply with the Belgian Employment Contracts Act of 3 July 1978 and related legislation, including Collective Labour Agreement No. 109 regarding motivation for dismissal. The document is required to contain specific elements such as clear identification of parties, precise notice period calculations, final working day, and any special arrangements. It may also need to address specific requirements for protected employees, outplacement services for eligible employees, and industry-specific provisions. The notice must be drafted carefully to ensure compliance with Belgium's strict employment termination regulations and to minimize legal risks.
