Document background
The Job Contract Termination Letter is a crucial document in Belgian employment law, used when an employer wishes to formally end an employment relationship. It must be drafted in accordance with the Belgian Employment Contracts Act and related legislation, including specific requirements for notice periods, mandatory information, and formal notifications. The document serves multiple purposes: it officially communicates the termination decision, specifies the notice period or payment in lieu of notice, outlines the final settlement details, and addresses the return of company property. The letter must be accompanied by various mandatory social documents such as the C4 form, final account statements, and holiday pay certificates. Given Belgium's strict employment protection regulations, this document requires careful preparation to ensure legal compliance and minimize the risk of disputes.
