Document background
The Termination Without Cause Letter is a crucial document used in Philippine employment law when an employer needs to end an employment relationship for legitimate business reasons rather than employee misconduct or poor performance. Under Philippine labor regulations, employers must provide at least 30 days written notice and appropriate separation pay. This document should clearly state the termination decision, outline the notice period, detail final compensation including separation pay (typically one month's pay for every year of service), and address the transition of responsibilities and company property. The letter must be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with the Labor Code of the Philippines and related Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) regulations to avoid legal complications or claims of illegal termination.
