What is a termination letter and what should it include?
A termination letter is a written document confirming an employee's separation from the organization. It typically states the termination date, reason (where appropriate), final pay details, benefits continuation information, return of company property requirements, and any post-employment obligations like non-competes or confidentiality. While not federally required, termination letters are best practice and legally required in some states under WARN Act-equivalent rules or specific termination notice statutes.
