Letters of Dismissal

A letter of dismissal is given to a employee when his services are no longer required in the company. The termination of employment mostly occurs due to disciplinary reasons. The language used in the letter should be precise, polite and concise, explaining the reason for the termination of employment. This sort of letter should include the timeline for the notice period, and all the relevant standard operating procedures regarding the action.

    Termination of Service

    Dear Mr. James Gordon,

    This is to inform you that your services with Butterworth Inc. have been terminated with immediate effect.

    In the last six months which you have served with us, there have been two cases of plagiarism and despite our repeated warnings and notifications; you have failed to address the issue. This sort of behaviour is not acceptable in our line of work and the company policies are very clear on that matter. During the time, you have been associated with us, the company has tried its best to impart in you the skills required to do the job appropriately, but your response has been disappointing.

    This leaves us with no choice but to terminate your services. You will be paid one month’s salary in advance. You can be sure that we will not divulge the details of your termination to any other company.

    Sincerely,

    [Signature]
    Ryan Finch
    CEO.
