Document background
The Termination Of Employment Without Notice document is a crucial instrument used in Philippine employment relations when immediate termination is necessary due to serious misconduct or other just causes as defined by law. It must be drafted in strict compliance with the Philippine Labor Code, particularly Article 297, which outlines the legitimate grounds for immediate termination. This document is utilized when an employee has committed actions warranting immediate dismissal, such as serious misconduct, willful disobedience, gross negligence, fraud, or loss of trust. The document must demonstrate that due process was observed, including proper investigation and documentation of the offense. It should contain specific details about the violation, reference to previous warnings if any, final pay computation, and post-employment obligations. Given the serious nature of immediate termination, this document often requires review by legal counsel to ensure compliance with Philippine employment laws and to protect against potential wrongful termination claims.
