Employment Termination Notice Letter Due To Redundancy

According to Cambridge Dictionary, "redundancy" is a situation in which someone loses their job because their employer does not need them. Example: The takeover of ABC Limited's factories at Mumbai by JKL Limited is expected to result in over 5,000 redundancies in workers.

Due to redundancy, an employer can terminate the employment of any employee whose position is not required anymore. Therefore, the employer needs to issue a termination notice to the employee in this regard. Some countries have specific laws with regard to termination of employment due to redundancy and redundancy pay.

Here is a sample of such a notice of termination of employment to an employee due to redundancy in his/her job position.
