Sample Termination Letter For Firing Bad Employee
Mr. Thomas A Lasker
c/o Blank Company Inc.
76554 South Main St.
Anywhere, AnyState 99999
Dear Mr. T. A. Lasker,
Your employment with Blank Company Inc. is now over. The recent events and problems related to your work performance occurred when bookkeeping noticed miscalculations on your paperwork and money missing from the companies account. This has happened in the past, and no matter the repeat warnings, you cannot explain why the miscalculations happened, or why the money is missing. Therefore, we believe that you are not performing your job duties to our standard.
Blank Company Inc. would like to offer the following offer, which will help you in finding new employment elsewhere and reflects the years of service in which you have provided to us:
1) Blank Company Inc. will continue to pay you 100% of your salary for the next three months. If you secure employment elsewhere within that three month period, Blank Company Inc. will pay you a lump sum equal to 35% of the wages in which you would have accrued for the balance of the period.
2) All vacation hours and sick days will be paid in full within the next three months.
3) All benefits, including your health care, and dental care will be continued for six months, unless earned by a future employee during that time.
4) An outside employment counselor has been contacted for you. She will help you find future employment.
This offer is conditional on you accepting the following conditions:
1) All confidential information you received during your employment must remain confidential.
2) You must report any new employment to Blank Company Inc. within 3 days of gaining such employment for the next 3 months. Also, you must report any changes in benefits within this new employment for 6 months.
3) A signed copy of this letter must be returned to Blank Company Inc. no later then 5 days after the date above.
I would like to arrange a time in which to meet you and allow you to collect your personal belongings out of the office. To do this, I need you to return all keys, paperwork, and company property that may still be in your possession.
Please call me at (555) 555-3433 ext. 1000 if you have any questions about this agreement.
Sincerely,
Michael Fire
Head of Human Resources
Blank Company Inc.
