The Redundancy Confirmation Letter is a crucial document in the Nigerian employment termination process, used when a position becomes redundant due to organizational restructuring, economic conditions, or technological changes. This formal communication follows any required consultation periods and must comply with the Nigerian Labour Act and relevant employment legislation. The letter serves as official documentation of the redundancy decision, outlining the specific terms of the separation including notice periods, redundancy payments, and benefit entitlements. It should be issued after any preliminary discussions or consultations with the affected employee, but before the actual termination date, providing adequate notice as required by Nigerian law. The document plays a vital role in ensuring transparency and legal compliance while providing clear documentation of the redundancy terms for both employer and employee.
