Write a termination letter for [Employee Name], [Job Title], terminated effective [date] for [reason: e.g., position elimination / performance / conduct / at-will]. Final paycheck will be issued on [date] by [method]. Include: what happens to benefits (end date), requirement to return company property by [date], and who to contact with questions.

Tips

Always have your HR attorney review termination letters — especially for protected class members, FMLA-related absences, or anyone who has filed a complaint. Add "include a signature block for both parties" to get the acknowledgment section automatically.
