Document background
The Letter of Dismissal for Theft is a crucial document in Philippine employment law that must be carefully drafted to ensure legal compliance and protect both employer and employee rights. It is used when an employee is being terminated for theft, which constitutes a just cause for termination under Article 297 of the Labor Code of the Philippines. The document must demonstrate that proper investigation was conducted and due process was observed, including compliance with the two-notice rule. It should reference the previous Notice to Explain, detail investigation findings, cite relevant laws and company policies, and provide clear instructions for final settlement. The letter must be drafted with particular attention to Philippine labor law requirements, as procedural lapses could render the termination illegal despite valid grounds.
