The Notice of Service Termination is a crucial document in Indian employment relationships, used when either an employer or employee wishes to formally end the employment arrangement. This document must strictly adhere to Indian labor laws, including the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, and state-specific employment regulations. It serves multiple purposes: legally documenting the termination, specifying the notice period and last working day, outlining handover requirements, addressing confidentiality obligations, and detailing final settlement terms. The notice should be drafted carefully to ensure compliance with minimum notice period requirements, which vary based on employee category and state legislation. This document is particularly important as it can protect both parties from future disputes and ensures a clear record of the termination terms.
