[DATE]

Dear [NAME]

Notice of termination of employment

Further to our meeting on [earlier today] I am writing to confirm that [NAME] (the Company)

has decided to make you redundant.

As you know, there was a meeting with all of the employees who could have been affected on

[DATE], at which [NAME] explained why the Company was considering making redundancies.

[SUMMARISE THE REASONS.] I then met with you individually on [DATE] and [DATE] to

discuss your provisional selection for redundancy. As you know, the Company has explored

ways in which your redundancy could be avoided, and the possibility of alternative

employment. Unfortunately it has not been able to identify any alternative employment for you

or any way in which your redundancy could be avoided.

As a result, as I explained at our meeting, your position is redundant. [The Company is

therefore serving [PERIOD] notice to terminate your employment, in accordance with your

contract of employment. Your employment will therefore terminate by reason of redundancy

on [DATE] OR The Company is therefore terminating your employment with immediate effect

by reason of redundancy]. [You are not required to come into the office after today.] [You will

receive your pay and benefits up to [that date OR today] in the normal way. [You will be

informed if any suitable alternative positions become available during the notice period.]

As I explained at our meeting, following termination of your employment [and receipt by you of

a form P45] you will receive:



[A payment in lieu of your contractual notice period of [PERIOD] weeks. [This

payment will be subject to income tax and national insurance contributions in the

usual way OR It is our understanding that under current tax rules [the first £30,000 of]

this payment will be free of income tax and national insurance contributions]].



Pay in lieu of any accrued but unused holiday entitlement. This payment will be

subject to income tax and national insurance contributions in the usual way. If you

have taken more holiday than your pro-rated entitlement for the holiday year to the

date of termination then [you will not be entitled to any pay in lieu of holiday OR the

Company will deduct an appropriate amount from your final salary payment].
