The Letter For End Of Contract Notification is a crucial document in South African employment practice, used when a fixed-term or temporary employment contract reaches its natural conclusion. This document is essential for maintaining clear communication and legal compliance in employment relationships under South African labor law. It should be issued with appropriate notice as required by the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, typically ranging from one to four weeks depending on the length of employment. The letter serves multiple purposes: it confirms the end date of employment, outlines final payment arrangements, specifies handover requirements, and addresses company property return procedures. This formal notification helps prevent misunderstandings and provides documentation for both parties regarding the termination of the employment relationship.
