The Workers Compensation Termination Of Employment Letter is a crucial document used in New Zealand when terminating employment due to an employee's inability to return to work following a workplace injury or illness. It operates within New Zealand's unique ACC scheme and must comply with the Employment Relations Act 2000, Accident Compensation Act 2001, and related legislation. This document is typically used after medical assessments confirm an employee cannot return to their original role or any alternative positions within the organization. It should detail the termination decision, final entitlements, ongoing ACC support, and any continuing obligations. The letter must balance legal compliance with sensitivity to the employee's circumstances, while clearly documenting the termination process and reasons.
