Document background
The Severance Notice is a crucial document in Philippine employment law, used when an employer needs to formally terminate an employment relationship while ensuring compliance with local labor regulations. It serves as both a legal requirement and a formal communication tool, typically issued after any required preliminary notices or discussions. The document must adhere to the Philippine Labor Code's requirements, including proper citation of termination grounds (whether for just cause, authorized cause, or redundancy), computation of separation benefits according to law, and observance of due process. The notice should be drafted with careful attention to detail, as it may be scrutinized in potential labor disputes and must demonstrate compliance with both substantive and procedural due process requirements under Philippine law.
