Document background
The Employee Termination Agreement is a crucial document used in Belgian employment relationships when both parties agree to end the employment contract by mutual consent. It serves as a comprehensive record of the termination terms, ensuring compliance with Belgian employment law, including the Act of 3 July 1978 on Employment Contracts and applicable collective bargaining agreements. This document is particularly important as it provides legal certainty for both parties, addressing key aspects such as final settlements, notice periods, and post-employment obligations. It should be used when parties seek an amicable separation and want to clearly document all aspects of the termination, including financial settlements, return of company property, and any ongoing obligations such as confidentiality or non-competition requirements.
